Prize Money: $5,810

BOLD THRUSTER (1) has a strong record this trip with two wins and three placings from six starts. Recorded a 1.75 lengths win (30.03) in a Mix 6/7 last time at The Meadows. Looks suited here and rates on top. CANYA TALK NOW (7) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 6 lengths at The Meadows in a handy 29.67 beating Maxi Grin. Won at his only start from this draw. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. LIL REX (6) shapes well for this backing up a flying 34.19 win with success at Murray Bridge over 680m last time, recording 39.06. Has the ability and can measure up again. SPRINGVALE MAGIC (4) has strong credentials over this journey.

Won again in an impressive display after running them ragged to make it back-to-back wins at The Meadows over 525m (30.03). Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was a strong winner scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 5 at Sandown and recording a useful 29.56 over the 515m journey. Harder here but worth including in multiples.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 0.8 lengths in 30.95, beating She Will Satisfy. Last start finished last on September 3 over 530m at this track behind Dashing Starlet beaten 20 lengths (31.93) in a Grade 6. Must be included.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 680m at Murray Bridge in a handy (39.06), beating Lamia Taya. Looks a solid contender.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start comfortably by 6 lengths at The Meadows (29.67) beating Maxi Grin in a Grade 4/5 on September 2. Looks the one to beat again.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last five starts. Last time out finished 2nd over 395m at Murray Bridge beaten 1.3 lengths (22.15) behind Ice Age in a Grade 5 on September 4. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
