BOLD THRUSTER (4) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 525m at this track, taking a Maiden in a flying 29.91. Hard to top on the time from two back. KIWI BIRCHIP (2) was a last start winner this course and distance taking a Maiden in 30.17 in one of the quickest times on the card and clocking a personal best as well. In form and must include in calculations. XARA NAVY (7) ran below best last time finishing fourth (30.13) over 515m at Sandown from Box 8. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. GNARLACK (5) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fourth in a Grade 7 on August 5 over 525m at this track behind Big Watch, beaten 15 lengths (31.31). Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Most recent effort finished 4th over 525m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (30.38) behind Full Bore Donny in a Grade 6 on August 5. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Will be thereabouts.

Produced a good effort last start to finish fourth over 515m at Sandown, beaten 2.75 lengths (30.13) behind Breach in a Mix 6/7 on August 6. On best form is more than capable. Keep safe.
