JUST TAKE IT (2) was a last start winner (19.87) at this track in a Grade 5 and will jump from box 2 for the first time. Strike rate this course and distance strong having won four of six tries. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Has put together a string of wins and expected to go close again. GO FORWARD BLAZE (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (20.24) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Form here is sound including six wins. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. One of the main contenders. ALEX KEEPING (4) was a strong winner (18.60) from box 6 last time, scoring by 3 lengths at Dubbo. Will need some luck early after drawing a tricky box here. Will go close again if runs up to latest. MOTOR CITY CHIEF (3) must be included in calculations.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional, going on to clock 19.87 in a half a length win at this track over 340m. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Won two starts back at Wagga over 400m in 23.12. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 400m at Wagga at Grade 5 level. Last run is a strong form reference. Worth following up.

Good performance to win by 3 lengths at Dubbo over 318m (18.60) beating Orana Joel in Grade 5 on September 12. Key chance on that latest effort.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by one length at this track (19.95) beating Victor Cargo in a Grade 5 on August 29. Looks tested in this company.
