RITA'S MIRACLE (8) broke her maiden last start by a nose at Richmond Straight over 324m (18.10). Will break from a wide draw. Tougher here but can go on with it. PAINT THE RUST (2) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 2nd at this track over 365m. Can feature again. CHASING PENNIES (4) turned in a plain effort last time when seventh at Richmond over 401m behind Akii Royale (24.07) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Leading chance. QUEST FOR JUNIOR (5) has definite claims at his first try at this circuit.

Form has tapered off a little since recording maiden win three back at Bulli. Placed two back then finished a 7 length fifth (19.85) at Bulli. Others appear better placed.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (20.63) at big odds over 350m at Goulburn. Tricky draw to overcome but capable of a better result.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 2 lengths at Bulli (19.60) beating Queen Canicula in a Maiden on July 28. Not keen this time.
