STRAWBERRY HILLS (1) boasts an excellent record and yet to miss the frame including one wins from four starts, the latest winning (22.44) over 390m at Warrnambool. Rates strongly and will go close from the inside draw. LUCKY SPIN (8) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last six runs. Last time finished 3rd over 400m at Warragul beaten 7 lengths (23.25) behind Petit Mamselle in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win on September 15. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Racing well and deserves a win. SWEET AS AVA (2) flew the lids last start and led throughout to register her maiden win by 2.75 lengths at this track over 400m (22.92). Drawn well off an inside draw. Expecting another bold showing. MANTIS BALE (4) is going well, finishing in the placings twice in a row. Not beaten far last time when a 1.5 lengths third (24.31) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win at Bendigo.

Sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional and went on to clock 22.92 in a 2.75 lengths win at this track over 400m. In-form and measures right up. Hard to beat.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (25.00) over 435m at Sale. Has a low draw. Has to do a bit more.

Did a good job on debut at Healesville to win by 0.8 lengths in 16.70, beating Relatable. Last start finished last in a Maiden FIN on September 13 over 300m at Healesville behind Midnight Tears beaten 4 lengths (16.70). Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Placed last time (23.25) at Warragul in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win, finishing third and beaten 7 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
