DELIBERATION (4) missed the frame last time when fourth (26.78) at Bulli but prior to that had two placings in a row. Has a good record at this journey. Looks the one to beat on his best form. MAJOR SOKO (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (23.87) in a Mix 1/2/3 at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Can figure in the finish. SASSY CROSSED (2) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at Bulli over 472m behind Doonside Lewis (27.07) in a Mix 1/2/3. Placed at her previous run. Leading chance. APPIN WAY (5) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 6th on October 18 over 401m at this track behind Pearl Of Maui beaten 12 lengths (23.87) in a Mix 1/2/3. Happy to overlook recent performances. Well placed and gets chance to find best.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (22.99) over 400m at Bulli. Has a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Last start finished fifth in a Grade 4/5 on October 18 over 401m at this track behind Dashing For Gold, beaten 8 lengths (23.22). Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
