1 06:14 CRYSTALS CREATIVES & MYSTICS FAIR SEP 27-28 PACE 1720m
 BETTORLIGHTEM UP (6) is a lightly-raced but progressive colt who landed his third success from just four starts when he came from the back row and scored first up by 2.4m at Bathurst. Unbeaten at this distance and won his lone second-up attempt so can go on with it. HARLEEQUIN (2) made a winning return last week, leading from wider before scoring by more than 10 metres. That took her strike rate at this circuit to 50 per cent and she has the benefit of a good draw so can keep the ball rolling. BLISSES BEST (3) has ground to make up on Harleequin through the last-start second but draws to be competitive again. MAID OF MONEY (4) must be considered returning to the front row having finished third from the back line here last week.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
2 06:42 MAJOR OAK @ THE PACEWAY - BOOK NOW PACE 1720m
 There was plenty to like about the performance of TOMMYS LUCK (1) here last week when he came from the back for fourth row in a handy line-up. Much better served by the ace draw and has winning claims from there. FORESIGHT (4) is a newcomer to the Troy Williams yard from Victoria and was readied for this with a second in a trial at this circuit. That effort suggested she can measure up. DELIGHTFULLY SWEET (7) scored back-to-back wins here earlier in the campaign and could be close to another success after placing last week. Wouldn't surprise to see VESPA STRIDE (5) play a role in a race like this.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
3 07:18 TAB VENUE MODE PACE 1720m
 TIGER PRINCE (7) has been close-up in two starts here since a spell, beaten 2.2m from this row when fresh before he finished 3.7m off the winner last week. Has won third-up before so should be approaching peak fitness and draws for a trail. Can win if he gets the gaps. BARA RILEY (10) is racing well. Returned to winning form at this circuit and distance two back then stepped up in trip for third from this row last week. Contender. GREY CADILLAC (6) draws wider but was very good here last week when edged out by just a nose. DUFFY HOLLOW (5) got it wrong at the start last start but had placed in two of his previous three outings at Bathurst so can do better.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
4 07:51 BIRD YARD BIG BAND @ THE PACEWAY OCT 12 PACE 2125m
 DOUBLE IT HARRY (1) has been ultra consistent with a string of top-four finishes to his name. Deserves to put another win on the board and gets his chance from the inside draw. RAGING SEA (8) has been beaten less than 5m in his two outings at Wagga since he came from a wider barrier to place in a higher-graded race at Menangle. Has won here before and has winning claims with even luck from the second line. DONTLETFEARSTOPYA (2) led from a couple of spots wider when runner-up here last start. Can take advantage of the low draw and be in this for a long way. OURTREACHEROUS REIGN (3) draws well and could be close to a win having finished runner-up in two of his last four outings.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
5 08:21 AUSSIE NIGHT MARKETS @ PENRITH SHOWGROUND OCT 12 PACE 1720m
 Hard to knock the form of KING TIGER (9) who recorded a fourth successive top-three finish at this circuit when he drew on this row and raced wide but stuck on last week. Too good in scoring a 1.6m win prior. Strong claims with even luck. ITZMINEONTHELINE (8) comes off a good performance to clock in third last start at Menangle. Draws on the back row but looks to be working towards another win. EYE CAN TRY (2) enjoyed the return to the front row when she drew this same barrier and dug deep to score narrowly last week. Up in grade but is building a handy record at this circuit and distance. MR TEDDY (5) can measure up with his A-game.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
6 08:51 SKY RACING ACTIVE 2YO PACE 1720m
 BEACHBABE CROCKER (10) switches to the Wayne Dimech yard from Queensland where she was a G3 winner earlier in her campaign and finished midfield from this barrier at G1 level in her latest outing. Readied with a trial win and can measure up. TOLLSA KING (11) resumes after five months but was working towards a win before the spell, the last outing being a solid second at Newcastle. Tricky draw but is likely to have developed with maturity and has been readied with two nice trials. BETWEEN DECKS (5) didn't do a bad job when fourth from this barrier here last week. Can be competitive. HUNGRY JOE (6) will be fitter for two starts since a spell and was far form disgraced from a tough draw last week.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
7 09:21 ROGUE SYNDICATE LIVE @ THE PACEWAY OCT 18 PACE 1720m
 LOOKIN GOOD MARGIE (8) produced a good showing for second at her latest appearance at this circuit, beaten 3.3 metres. Draws on the second line but had produced a series of nice efforts from there prior. Primary contender. REIGN MAKER (2) looks close to another win after placing in two of his last three starts at this venue. Draws well again so could break through. THE BEST OF YOU (7) went close as runner-up here two back then was held up from this barrier last week and wasn't far away. Go well with better luck. CARIBBEAN RUNA (4) has produced some decent efforts in the city of late including a placing three back. Can measure up in this line-up.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
8 09:54 HALLOWEEN FOOD FEST @ THE PACEWAY OCT 30-31 PACE 1720m
 CRUNCHIE DIVA (3) has switched yards since an encouraging debut six months ago where she placed at Cranbourne. Likely to have developed in the time away and was readied with a second in a trial here. A good draw could see her strike fresh. EYE CAN EAR AMOUR (6) has produced some solid efforts since winning here on debut including a fourth from a similar barrier at Menangle last week. This looks a winnable assignment. MAGNETIC STORM (9) cops a tougher draw but deserves respect off a last-start win by 9 metres at this circuit. TIGER EUPHEME (2) draws lower than last start and had placed at her previous two outings here so is worth another chance.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
