MUSTANG ELEANOR (8) was a winner two back when leading throughout but drifted back latest and safely held when 7th and beaten 11 lengths at this track (23.79). Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings seven times from 14 attempts. Worth another chance. CRUISIN' GRAE (3) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at Warragul over 400m behind Warrior Page (24.10) in a Grade 5. Was a winner the start prior. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Expected to feature in the finish. RED HOT PRETTY (7) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from five starts. Scored by 4.5 lengths last time (22.88) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 over 400m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. SPECIAL PLAYERS (1) can fill a top-three spot.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 3.5 lengths fourth (24.78) over 425m at Bendigo. Looks a solid contender.

Placed last time (17.24) at Healesville in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 400m. Last start finished 7th in a Grade 5 on September 3 over 400m at Warragul behind Warrior Page beaten 11 lengths (24.10). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing third (23.37) at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks tested in this line-up.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 4.5 lengths over 400m at this track (22.88). Must be a winning chance again.
