FLYING SPARKS (1) was out of the placings when fourth last time but prior to that ran a flying 16.03 win over 280m at this track. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back. INCA WILLOW (4) struggled to get involved last start after settling off pace at this track, but prior to that won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at this track (16.22) beating Epic Estimate in a D3 on August 28. The form out of her last race has been franked. Should play a prominent role. BANSHA BABS (2) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a neck winner of a D3 at this track over 280m (16.38). Rises a grade but can measure up with repeat of latest. ACOMB OLGA (6) is last start winner who looks one of the chances.
