GUS THE GANGSTER (3) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Blow Bayou (25.54) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Sure to be about the mark. BEST ON LINE (1) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 450m behind Packham Punch (25.76) in a Grade 5. Good beginner assisted by the inside draw. Has ability and can measure up. SANDAVE PHOENIX (8) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (25.99) in a Grade 5 at this track. Warrants plenty of respect. FREE KICK (2) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Fast starter. Last start finished 5th on July 3 over 450m at this track behind Packham Punch beaten 6 lengths (25.76) in a Grade 5. Good beginner and should go close off the inside draw.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished eighth over 450m at this track, beaten 11 lengths (26.24) behind Nangar Dixie in a Maiden on July 6. Leading chance on best form.

Was out of the placings last time at Taree Super Track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Tricky draw to overcome and will need everything to go her way.
