DISTURBANCE (7) had to work when racing three wide without cover first up in the Listed Tatlow Stakes at Menangle but stuck on for fourth. Won his lone second-up attempt so should be improved. Draws for a trail and will enjoy the class drop. STEELY ZAC (8) is hard to knock having come from this barrier to win his last two outings at this circuit and distance. With even luck he could land the hat trick. GUNNAREASON (6) broke as a hot favourite last start but was good when missing by just a neck when resuming at Menangle prior. She is worth another chance. FEROCIOUS LOVER (4) could be ready to peak after two solid efforts off a spell.

Last start 4th (Fr6) over 1609m at Newcastle, at the bell was 2nd-1.37 beaten 3 m by Ideally Midnight (1:57.30) in 2yo on August 31 at $23. At her previous start game effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at Newcastle was 4th-7.47 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Kvitka Stride (1:58.50) in 2yo on August 10 at $9. Draws well so a big run would not surprise.

Before that, a solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle, at the bell was 2nd-1.25 beaten a neck by Soho Aster (1:56.00) in 2yo on August 18 at $9.50.

Two-year-old colt who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 18 m by Oh Its On (1:52.10) in 2yo LR on August 29 at $8.50. Fitter and looks well placed.

Two-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1720m. Last start won by a head (Sr1) at this track (2:06.20) beating Passion And Pain in 2yo on September 3 at $5.50. Could make it the hat trick wins.
