SOUTHERN STYLE (1) was fast into stride from box four to score two back (22.19) then jumped from the same draw last time but got further back when 6th at this track (24.40). Boasts two wins from three starts out of this box. Tough to beat if on-song. MINTER DELICIOUS (2) hit the ground running off an inside draw last start and was never headed (22.43) at Ballarat in a T3 Grade 6 over 390m. The form from her last run stacks up well. Can measure up again. DOONGALLA MIMIC (7) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (24.18) at this track. Leading chance. RIPPER RAE (8) placed last time (28.40) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths. Has two wins already from this draw.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 3 lengths at Ballarat (22.43) beating West End Boy in a T3 Grade 6 on September 4. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (24.47) at this track over 425m. Thereabouts and rates well in this. Expected to run well.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (22.44) over 390m at Warrnambool. Tricky draw to overcome. Prefer others.

Did a good job two starts back at Shepparton to win by a neck in 25.37, beating Kraken Tommy. Last start finished last over 450m at Ballarat beaten 7 lengths (25.69) behind Moraine Koby in a Grade 5 on September 9. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
