OPERATIVE LINE (10) enjoys a class drop on his last attempt and was racing well prior having scored a win in this grade here prior. If things go his way from the second line he is up to winning this. LOUIE LOU I (12) added to his consistent form when beaten only 2m into third here last week, easily beating OPERATIVE LINE home. He may need some luck from his draw wide on the back row but is deserving of another win. SERGEANT LOU (3) hasn't raced since last October but has been readied with three trials, easily winning the latest. Has yet to miss a place when fresh and is two from two at this circuit and distance. MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (4) came from wide to place here last time and owns a good record at this shorter distance. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (9) is also in the mix.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after showing early speed, behind Fox Dan at this track over 2240m in a NR 75 to 89 on August 30 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Look Like Diamonds at this track over 1720m in a NR 80 to 89 on September 6 at $12. Nice effort last time. Not here.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 7th-12.61 beaten 12 m by Keayang Tokyo (2:01.40) in No NR on September 6 at $7.50. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a nose as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (2:00.50) beating Clymenus in NR up to 95 on August 23 at $2.20 at the bell was 4th-5.14. Well placed.

Solid run when a close third behind Operative Line at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 95 on August 23 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Keayang Tokyo at this track over 1720m in a No NR on September 6 at $8.50. Rates highly. With luck from the draw his is a big chance to break through.
