BELLA FUTURE (7) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1106m at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. In the right race and is a winning hope. BREWING (8) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 4.5 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). That continued the good form this campaign, with five wins and two minor placings from 13 starts. Can measure up again. ROUNDBALL ROCK (1) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt), finishing 13 lengths back in sixth. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. THANKS FRANK (2) lines up on the back of a 9 length fourth over 1106m at this track. Has solid credentials. Something for the Multiples: FLORIDA GATOR (6)

Recent form sound. Most recently ran on from midfield and won by 4.5 len at this track on August 8 over 1106m defeating Florida Gator with 51.5kg at $3. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track on June 9 over 1106m, 1.0 len behind Stormin'unclejack with 54kg at $6.40. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.
