SCOOTIN' SCOOBY (2) made light work of the tricky draw with a quick early sectional last time clocking 19.67 in a 0.8 lengths win at this track over 340m. Can continue on his winning ways. ARMATREE VIOLET (1) comes off an average performance last start when eighth at this track over 431m behind Ava's Milo (25.65) in a Grade 4/5. Placed at her previous run. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MY MACHINE (7) boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 1.3 lengths (19.76) behind SCOOTIN' SCOOBY at this track. Will give a great sight again. IMPERIAL CHOP (3) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by a nose at this track (19.75) beating Rutland Snickers in a Grade 4/5 on July 30. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
