Prize Money: $2,515

ROAD TO IBROX (1) was never in contention last time at Gosford, but prior to that won easily by 4.5 lengths at Gosford (22.57) beating Us And Them in a Mix 3/4 on October 1. Has never missed the frame from five starts from this draw, including a win. Has winning claims on his best figures. BLUE CHANELLE (2) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished second (22.96) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Solid record at the distance winning six races. Can feature again. KAELIX COMET (3) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Gosford behind Nova Reign (22.51) in a Grade 5. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Can measure up. MISDIRECTION (8) placed last time at big odds - worth some thought.

Was out of placings last time (22.82) at Gosford in a NG, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths. Has never missed the frame from five starts from the draw, including a win. Makes strong appeal.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 400m at this track clocking 22.96. Safe beginner and will give a great sight.

Finished in the minors at big odds last time when third (23.14) at this track, making it two placings on end. Jumps from a wide draw. Looks to have the job ahead.
