HOLDER AUSTIN (8) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Grade 5 at Warrnambool. Has the ability and expected to bounce back. LEMON SLICE (1) scored (21.91) last time out at this track adding to an already respectable career. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. JUPITER (2) last start finished 4th over 380m at this track beaten 6 lengths (22.10) behind Cuban Eight in a Other on September 5. Can hit the frame with the right run. BLUE MARINE (3) looks a chance coming off a seven weeks layoff.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.10) in a Other, finishing a 6 length fourth. Has three wins and six placings from 15 starts from the draw. Looks suited and should go close.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by 2.5 lengths in 21.93, beating Explosive Balboa. Last start finished last on September 9 over 380m at this track behind Lemon Slice beaten 13 lengths (22.85) in a Grade 5. Looking to others this time.
