APACHE GOLD (6) was strongly fancied to break through last time and justified the confidence with a maiden win at this track over 390m (22.28). Harder here but looks a top chance again. IRON MACK (3) was strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 7 length win at Geelong over 400m in 22.81. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. FIESTA BELLE (1) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (24.46) from Box 1 at Bendigo. Can measure up. NUNNIONG GOLD (8) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Won two starts back over 390m at this track. Last start she finished 2nd on September 16 over 425m at Bendigo behind Collinda Ramsay beaten 2 lengths (24.46) in a T3 RSTW. Draw likely to suit. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 400m at Geelong by 7 lengths in a Maiden. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Hit the frame last time at Healesville but the start prior was a strong winner scoring by 1.3 lengths in a Maiden H at Healesville and clocking a slick 16.77 over the 300m trip. Can come into calculations at odds.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and went on to clock 22.28 when a 3 length winner over 390m at this track. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.

Showed good early speed on debut. Won easily by 4.5 lengths at Healesville (16.50) beating Platform in a Maiden on August 23. Will find this much tougher but he's got good box manners and speed. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 4.5 lengths in 22.26, beating Iron Mack. Last start finished 5th in a Mix 6/7 H on September 14 over 390m at this track behind Super Sam beaten 7 lengths (22.87). Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
