GOBLIN (6) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (16.79) from Box 2 at this track over 300m. Has a strong record from box 6, including two wins. Ready to return to form. DUNDEE REX (1) was a little disappointing last start at Geelong when 4th (26.34) over 460m. Goes very well at course and distance boasting two wins. The form from his last run stacks up well. Likely to be about the mark. DISCOURAGED (4) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Sandown over 595m behind No Stop Signs (34.80) in a Grade 5. Should be thereabouts. MINTER DELICIOUS (8) jumps at a shorter distance and still warrants respect.

Latest effort finished 4th on September 18 over 460m at Geelong behind Doongalla Don beaten 6 lengths (26.34) in a Grade 5. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 350m at this track. Happy enough to avoid.

Was eighth in a Free For All two back then given a 11 weeks spell after falling last time at Traralgon. Chance to atone but prepared to risk this line-up.

Last start finished sixth in a Grade 5 on September 21 over 595m at Sandown behind No Stop Signs, beaten 8 lengths (34.80). Will find this a little easier. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Could manage only fourth last time but caught the eye the start prior when she recorded a superb 16.58 over 300m finishing second at this track. Has the ability and can find winning form.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Ballarat over 390m in 22.43. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 425m at Bendigo at Grade 5 level. Well placed and among the chances here.
