MEPUNGA SAGE (2) has a strong record this trip with two wins and three placings from six starts. Below best last time at Sandown (30.20) in a Mix 6/7 FIN, finishing a 10 length seventh. Looks suited here and rates on top. CANYA ERUPT (8) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (29.57) in a Mix 6/7 FIN at Sandown. Expected to be in the finish again. ARCHIE ROLLS (4) has been in top form at Geelong with back to back wins, scoring in a scintillating 22.31 followed by a 25.85 win last time. Expecting another bold showing. DR. AZURE (1) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 7th over 515m at Sandown beaten 10 lengths (30.20) behind Canya Maroons in a Mix 6/7 FIN on August 7. Placed two back at Sandown. Missed the frame last time but prior to that had two placings in a row. Deserves another chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 525m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Has won his last two. Good effort to score just five days ago over 460m at Geelong by 6 lengths in a Grade 7. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.

Backs up after winning by 1.4 lengths at Warragul (22.74) beating Carry On Olive in a Grade 7 on August 8 six days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by 4.5 lengths in 30.03, beating Monaleen Hugh. Last start finished 4th on June 23 over 595m at Sandown behind Kick On King beaten 5.5 lengths (35.09) in a Restricted WIN. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Hit the frame at Sandown last time when a 1.5 lengths third but did record a speedy 29.57 over the 515m journey. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.
