NANGAR ROOKIE (2) pinged the lids and led for most of the way to hold a minor placing when third and beaten 2.25 lengths (29.96) at Q Parklands in a Grade 5 over 520m. Expected to feature in the finish again. SHAQ KEEPING (1) is better than last start when fifth (30.39) in a NG at Richmond over 520m. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including five wins, from seven starts. Has the ability to give this a shake. HOTSHOT LILY (4) is having her first start around this track. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 2.75 lengths (30.11) at Wentworth Park. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. RITZA TIANA (5) form at this distance reads well.

Placed last time (29.96) at Q Parklands in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks well placed and should feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at Gosford (29.81) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 2.75 lengths (30.11) behind Winsome Josie in a Grade 4/5 on September 5. Placed two back at Wentworth Park. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Has ability and worth including among the chances.

Could manage only seventh last time but impressed the start prior when he recorded a head turning 30.12 over 525m finishing second at Taree Super Track. Worth including on run two back.
