Track: GOOD      

CREDULOUS (1) made it two in a row last start when she got the cash by 3.5 metres over 2138m at this track. Has won from leading and trailing in the last two starts so decisions early will be important. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. I GOT CHILLS (9) very consistent, has recorded three wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Performed well once again when second at his latest appearance over 2138m at this track, beaten a head. Meets a similar line up and he can take this out. STUDLEIGH PUNTER (10) faces the second row this time in but didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1660m at this track last time out and can win with the right race tempo. DRAGON (3) has the front row draw for the first time in several starts, is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 1660m at this track on September 13.

Five-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track. Last start won by 3.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:35.20) beating Rock Supreme in NR up to 70 on September 11 at $1.50. Looks very hard to beat.

Resumes today. His previous first-up run was successful when he won by 2.25 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Newcastle (1:54.70) beating Fire And Sword in NR up to 63 on July 5 2024 at $2.20. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

Well beaten last start by Credulous, a rival who she faces again; when 55 metres twelfth at this track over 2138m in a NR up to 70 race on September 11. Hard to have on those efforts.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing eighth behind Our Sunset Delight at this track over 2138m in a No NR on September 6 at $19. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Botticelli at this track over 1660m in a No NR on September 13 at $26. Big chance.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr7) over 2138m at this track, beaten 11 m by Credulous (2:35.20) in NR up to 70 on September 11 at $15. Two runs back 5th (Sr2) over 1660m at this track, beaten 8 m by Credulous (1:55.80) in NR up to 75 on September 4 at $6.50. This looks far too tough.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m fifth behind We Always Have Faith at this track over 1660m No NR last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres third again at this track in NR up to 75 on August 21. Best form would see him back in the winner's stall.
