FORREST GUMP (3) was below best at his last start when 6th at this track following a third place finish (30.11) there two back. Rates on top in this line up. BOY BANDIT (8) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.25 lengths at this track in a handy 30.14 beating Any More Caramel. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Form should stack up. LOOPY EARS (1) finished third (25.18) two back at Goulburn but out of the placings last time when 7th at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can measure up this time. RITA'S HAIRCUT (2) cannot be dismissed although new to this distance.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 7th on September 2 over 520m at this track behind Dark Cinnamon beaten 8 lengths (30.37) in a Grade 5. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when second (30.32) at big odds over 520m at Wentworth Park. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Has to do a bit more.
