Justbetryin' should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. POSTWAR (1) lightly raced gelding heading in the right direction. Gave his all with the 61.5kg when a gritty on-speed fourth over 1000m at Wangaratta on the heavy (9) track on July 31. Since fitted with a 900m trial win. Genuine contender from the good gate. REDS CITY (4) handy mare who looks to get a better set-up for this. Went back from the wide gate and like the way she attacked the line with a close-up second over 1000m at Wagga. Hard to stop in this vein of form. JUSTBETRYIN' (6) is deep into the prep and due for a change of luck in this weaker race. Bumped into the smart Spirits Burn Deep when fourth over 1180m in a BM66 at Gundagai. Can get cover from the draw and take a hand in the finish. SWIFT HIT (5) has raced below par at his last three outings and gets another chance in this weaker race. Kept up to the mark with a 900m trial placing and maps well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,4,6,5.
