PAY KEEPING (1) goes very well this trip starting six times for two wins and three minors. Hit the frame latest (35.16) when third at Gosford in a Grade 5. Makes strong appeal on best. ZULU SHARP (5) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 5.5 lengths at Nowra in a handy 35.94 beating Zipping Corey. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Sure to measure up. BENTLEY RED (3) missed the frame and safely held latest finishing 6th at Gosford following on from a win (35.03) there the start prior. Has never missed the frame from three starts from this draw, including a win. Warrants plenty of respect. MARTINI NIGHTS (6) has a solid strike rate at this distance.

Missed the frame latest (31.09) when fifth over 531m at Lithgow in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting two places from three starts. Looks a place chance at best.
