TOWERING EARL (1) shapes well for this backing up an excellent 29.65 win with success at Wentworth Park over 520m last time, recording 29.92. Flying lately and expected to go close again. NICKO JACK (2) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (21.43) at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Will go close here with a clear run. ZIPPING AUGUSTA (8) goes very well this course and distance starting 21 times for seven wins and eight minors. Scored by 1.75 lengths last time (20.47) in a NG over 365m at this track. Looks a key chance on best figures. KUNG FU BAY (7) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 1.5 lengths away in second (20.64). Has performed well from this box with a win and six minor placings to his name from 10 starts. Ready to find winning form.

Has won his last two. Good effort to score just four days ago over 520m at Wentworth Park by half a length in a Grade 5. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Returns from a five months break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed over 365m at this track. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by 3.5 lengths in 20.45, beating Night Country. Last start finished 7th on August 26 over 365m at this track behind Zipping Augusta beaten 12 lengths (21.35) in a NG. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Was out of placings last time (18.86) at Temora in a NG, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Comments
