DISTANT FOX (2) had the drop on the lead from the inside before drawing clear to score (39.33) at this track in a OR over 660m. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Looks to have an edge on most of these. ROMEO MISSILE (5) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same trap when second in an A2 at this track (29.27) and making it three straight placings. Key chance on best form. ARE MALIKIAN (1) stalked the lead then burst clear to score (29.45) at this track in a OR over 500m. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Can measure up again. BALLYBOSS HACK (4) good strike-rate and a bold showing is expected here.

In top form with a three run winning streak. Well fancied last start won easily by 4 lengths at this track (39.33) beating Freyas Queen in a OR on September 5. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in an A3 by 0.5 len at this track over 500m (29.06). Hard to tip with any confidence.
