A Knights Tail

Prize Money: $2,335

NUTS THEN BOLTS (2) continues to race in super honest form hitting the frame at three of eight career runs, winning two back before finishing third last time (22.65) over 388m at Gosford. Performs well off this draw. Expected to feature in the finish. RHONDA'S RUPEES (7) used the inside draw to advantage last time and hit the ground running with a sensational early split, paving the way for a 7 length win at this track over 400m in 22.76. Won at his only start from this box. One of main contenders. SUNSHINE RHONDA (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (23.64) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Can measure up this time. HOT TO RULE (8) won last start in very good time. Right in the mix.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by a nose in 30.46, beating Zipping Yolanda. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on September 23 over 300m at Taree Super Track behind Pa's Shake beaten 4.5 lengths (17.73). Looking to others this time.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
