KIWI BIRCHIP (2) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at this track over 515m behind Mepunga Turbo (30.02) in a Restricted WIN H. Placed at his previous run. Tough to beat if on-song. KIWI HANK (3) missed the frame last time when fourth (25.68) at Ballarat but prior to that had two placings in a row. Has ability and can measure up. STARSHIP (4) won as expected at first outing and another big run is on the cards.

Showed good early speed on debut. Won easily by 5.5 lengths at Ballarat (25.44) beating Rapid Burst in a Maiden on September 16. Will find this much tougher but he's got good box manners and speed. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (30.45) over 515m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Looks to have the job ahead.

Easy winner on debut, showing plenty of speed to post a big 10 lengths victory in a Maiden last start at Sale, clocking an outstanding 24.33 for the 435m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 9 length eighth over 525m at The Meadows. Better off looking to others.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (25.02) at Sale over 435m. Not among the main chances this time.
