BETTABLACK TIGER (3) finished sixth last start over 2200m at this track, beaten 13 metres, after a good second at this track the run prior. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. His last run should be overlooked. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. GO THE RED (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 8 metres from the winner in fourth over 2200m at this track. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. CUZZY BRO (1) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 2 metres at this track over 2200m. WATERMELON SUGAR NZ (4) found form and finished in the money two runs ago then came back to earth when he broke and finished sixth last start over 2579m at Hobart, coming home 13 metres from the winner. Live chance in a similar assignment.

Last start 6th (Fr2) over 2200m at this track, beaten 13 m by Cuzzy Bro (2:38.90) on September 13 at $2.70. Before that, a good run when 2nd (Fr1) over 1680m after showing early pace at this track beaten 3.5 m by Go The Red (2:00.90) on August 30 at $2.35. Better than the last run suggests; set to make amends.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Waves Of Chance at this track over 1680m on September 13 at $11. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Ray Dan at Hobart over 2090m on September 20 at $8.50. Leading player.

Last start 4th (Sr1) over 2200m at this track, beaten 8 m by Cuzzy Bro (2:38.90) on September 13 at $3.30. Before that, a solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 2579m at Hobart, beaten 9 m by Horatius Speculo (3:09.30) on September 6 at $2.60. Rates highly and deserves another chance.
