Last start 2nd (Fr3) over 1720m at this track was 2nd-4.65 at the bell, beaten a neck by Bulletproof Boy (1:58.30) in LR on October 10 at $4.60. Two runs back came from midfield and won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at Menangle (2:42.80) beating Hungry Hippo in on September 26 at $1.60 at the bell was leading 0.57. Going well but doubt he can match these.

Last start 4th (Fr4) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 5th-8.29 beaten 12 m by Bulletproof Boy (1:58.30) in LR on October 10 at $19. Two runs back 5th (Sr2) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 11th-18.68 beaten 9 m by Fighter Command (2:39.50) on September 26 at $15. Ticking along nicely and draws well but these look too good for him.

Resumed from a 77-day break with a strong win by 4 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Menangle (2:42.90) beating Kingman in LR on October 3 at $1.04 at the bell was leading 3.25. Before that beat Leap To Fame in the Inter Dominion Final. Brilliant mare on a stunning winning streak and she draws perfectly. That will see her very hard to stop.

Last start came from midfield and won by a neck (Sr3) at this track (1:58.30) beating Our Sunset Delight in LR on October 10 at $8.50 at the bell was 4th-8.29. Warrior who was great from the back row last week and a good draw can see another bold showing.

Last start posted a big 3.5 m win as favourite (Sr2) at Riverina Paceway (1:59.60) beating Neptunite in on October 4 at $1.35 at the bell was leading 3.9. Inter Dominion placegetter who draws to make his presence felt.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following September 28 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a nose when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at Geelong (3:03.90) beating Ubetcha Tigerpie in on October 3 at $26 at the bell was 6th-11.32. This race will be harder than that win. Unlikely to threaten in this much tougher assignment.

Two back was well beaten into eighth, behind Max Delight at Menangle over 1609m on September 19 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Captains Mistress at Menangle over 2300m in a LR on October 3 at $26. Tricky draw but won this race last year and could be ready to find his best form again.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following September 12 run. Just managed to hang on and win failed to make any headway until the straight; raced back and made ground from the turn; won by a head (Sr4) at this track (1:59.90) beating Sir Jimmy in on September 19 at $7 at the bell was 8th-11.48. This race will be harder than that win. Enigmatic but back in winning form last start although the draw won't make his task easy.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Strong performance last time out was driven from back in the field when 2nd (Sr3) over 2570m at Geelong, at the bell was 4th-7.27 beaten a nose by Jilliby Nitro (3:03.90) on October 3 at $12. Not going well enough. Needed a better draw to have any hope here.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort when 3rd (Fr5) over 2570m at Geelong, at the bell was 3rd-5.45 beaten a head by Jilliby Nitro (3:03.90) on October 3 at $2. Fitter and it wouldn't surprise to see him to feature with even luck from the draw.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 9 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr10) at Menangle (1:48.50) beating Captain Bellasario in on October 10 at $1.08. Hard to leave out on current form. Tough draw but he has been winning from wide barriers in Sydney so can play a role with luck.

Last start 6th (Fr8) over 2300m at Menangle, at the bell was 3rd-5.37 beaten 14 m by Captains Mistress (2:42.90) in LR on October 3 at $34. Two runs back ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 m (Fr7) at Menangle (1:50.80) beating Dessie Gee in on September 19 at $9.50 at the bell was 4th-7.55. Grand pacer who has won this race before but the barrier is against him.
