BE A SHADOW (5) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 16.99. Awkwardly drawn but in form and has the ability. Expected to go well again. PATH TO NIRVANA (6) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 16.93 beating Zinzan Sammy. Sure to be thereabouts. BRUREE LUCK (3) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (17.07) at this track behind BRUREE PAT in a Grade 5. Can measure up. BEND YOUR EAR (1) comes into calculations after placing at big odds most recently.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on September 15 over 400m at Warragul behind Bunni Bale beaten 2 lengths (23.46). Has claims if at his best.

Nearing another win after her success on July 31 at this track over 300m. Last start was second over 300m in 17.07, behind Bruree Pat. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Flew the lids with a slick early split last time and went on to clock 16.99 as a strongly fancied winner over 300m at this track. Top chance again.
