Prize Money: $2,400

FEDERAL VOODOO (8) stalked lead from an outside box last start before finishing third (22.22) at this track in a Grade 5 over 380m. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. SIMULATION (1) jumps from the inside draw. Latest effort finished 4th over 380m at this track beaten 7 lengths (22.37) behind On Target in a Grade 5 on August 31. Among the main chances. FIRST ON BASE (2) showed good early burn but run over late to finish 6th at this track in Restricted WIN company. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. FLYING ARGOS (7) has claims fresh from a recent placing.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
