RELAX MATE (1) has missed the frame at his last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (22.44) at Warrnambool in a Free For All. Can turn form around here. MYSTIC CONTESSA (8) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from four tries. Placed last time (24.22) at Bendigo in a Rank Limit - Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 6 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. MADAM SERIOUS (6) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in three starts, including two wins. Below best last time at Geelong (26.60) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length sixth. Can feature in the finish. AUSSIE WAGYU (2) can feature with the right run.

Was out of placings last time (22.81) at Geelong in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Has never missed the frame from three starts from the draw, including a win. Makes strong appeal.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warragul (23.21) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length fifth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Suited here and expected to run well.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by 0.8 lengths at Shepparton over 390m (22.62) beating Paw Murbella in Grade 5 on September 21. Other runners look much more appealing.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (23.57) over 410m at Horsham. Has a squeeze box to navigate and appears tested on latest effort.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Well placed here and expected to bounce back.

Returns from a six months break after failing to finish at Sandown last time but prior to that was fourth in a Grade 5 two back. May be worth another chance but happy to watch this time.

Comments

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 6 length second over 425m Bendigo in 24.22. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
