VICIOUS (2) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 11 metres into eighth at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this better draw. Meets a similar line up and he is capable of a much better performance. MUFFERAW JOE (1) was successful last time out by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of taking this out. CAPT KARMA (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by 7 metres at Philadelphia over 1609m. BANDERAS (6) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Solid run when a close third behind Orlando Blue at this track over 1609m in a NW10000L5 on August 12 at $11.02. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Keayang Taco at this track over 1609m in a NW7561L5 on August 18 at $18.17. This race appears well within his grasp.
