CHARLIE'S BEST (5) jumped from a squeeze box last start but was quickly into stride and led throughout to score (19.97) at this track in a Maiden over 340m. Expected to be right there at the finish again. TRALEE WILLY (1) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when third (18.88) at Dubbo. Racing well and deserves a win. CRACKERJACK NEIL (2) jumped well from this draw last time and was prominent throughout before holding third (18.76) in a Maiden at Dubbo over 318m. Should be in this for a long way. SWIFT HANK (7) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when second (25.34) at this track in a Grade 5.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on September 12 over 318m at Dubbo behind Alex Keeping beaten 4 lengths (18.88). Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (20.93) in a Grade 5, finishing a 15 length eighth. Has five placings from seven starts from the draw. Looks a place chance at best.

Missed the frame latest (20.27) when fifth over 340m at this track in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Comments

Caught the eye on debut when making light work of the tricky draw with a fast early sectional, clocking 19.97 in a 1.75 lengths win at this track over 340m. Promising type and can make it two on the bounce.
