SPIRALLING (3) made light work of a wide draw last time with a strong early sectional and clocking 28.94 in a head win at Sale over 510m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Will go close again if runs up to latest. MAXI GRIN (2) boasts a consistent overall record including five wins from 24 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when third (25.97) over 460m at Geelong. Form here sound including two wins. Rates a winning chance on best. ASTON CURRENCY (1) finished well back at this track last time when a 9 length sixth (31.62) but scored four back at Sandown (29.91). Should play a prominent role. MEPUNGA SUMMIT (6) profiles nicely over this trip.

Was out of placings last time (31.62) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in five runs from this box, including two wins. Key chance and should go close.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 3.5 lengths third (25.97) over 460m at Geelong. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by a head at Sale over 510m (28.94) beating Jumbuk Sachin in Grade 5 on August 23. Was strongly supported and ran right away with it last time. Follow up.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by half a length at Sandown (29.79) beating Weblec Memphis in a Grade 5 H on August 10. Likely to struggle this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (22.91) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length sixth. Goes well out of this box with a win and seven minors. Will need the right run.

Did a good job two starts back at Sandown to win by one length in 29.62, beating Naringal Lad. Last start finished last in a Grade 5 FIN on August 20 over 515m at Sandown behind Weblec Memphis beaten 9 lengths (30.17). Has ability and worth including.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Ballarat over 545m in 31.29. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 450m at Shepparton at Grade 5 level. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
