RUSSIAN BLUES (8) has been well found in the market in both starts, finishing fourth twice. Last time over 1300m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. The drop in trip is the key. On top. WAY OUT (4) put in a solid effort in her second start of the campaign, finishing just a head away as runner-up over 970m at this track. She's well-placed to go one better. WITHALLMYDREAM (5) was not far away when eighth last time out at Ruakaka over 1200m after being prominent early. She has scope and is a strong top 4 chance in this field. MY FAITH (1) was fourth in her last start over this trip here and is well worth including in all combinations in an even contest.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 10 at this track on September 10 over 970m, 3.5 len behind Passiflora carrying 54.5kg at $10.80. The race before that 2nd in a small field at this track on August 29 over 970m, 0.8 len behind Brazen Affair with 54kg at $11.90. Each way player on best form.
First starter by Bullbars out of Betty Be Good. Only trial was September 16 at Arawa Park when third over 800m. Pay to keep an eye on betting moves.

Was at long odds at debut, second last of 11 at Te Rapa 3yo Mdn-Sw on August 23 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Quantum Legend with 55.5kg at $29.30. Worth another chance.

Comments
Three-year-old filly (Ferrando - Hasta La Brahma) has trialled on seven occasions leading into today's race. Fourth over 1000m in an Arawa Park trial on September 16. Prefer to see under race conditions.
