DAPHNE ZACAPA (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (22.68) last time in a Grade 5 at Gosford. Has never missed the frame from three starts from this draw, including a win. Has ability and looks hard to stop. SUBTLE KNOCK (2) was prominent early off a low draw but weakened and dropped out when 5th over 390m at Warrnambool in Grade 5 company. Boasts two wins from five starts out of this box. Expected to feature in the finish. HOOKED ON IRAOLA (5) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 3 lengths (17.40) at Taree Super Track. Good beginner but will need a little luck from a middle draw. Expected to feature again. ABLE RIVAL (3) should be thereabouts.

Was out of placings last time (22.68) at Gosford in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Super consistent from the draw with a win and two places from three starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Fast starter. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 on August 25 over 390m at Warrnambool behind Intuitive beaten 3.5 lengths (22.88). The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he does have a good record at the track and trip, including three wins. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Country racer who only starts fairly, coming off mixed results. Was 3rd last start over 300m at Taree Super Track (17.99) beaten half a length, behind Lunch Money in Grade 5 on September 6. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
