AAP

Jumped to the front and simply too good taking out the Plate (C1) at Griffith. Maps well. Very well placed for a repeat.

ILB

Led from start to finish to win by 6L last time at Griffith and gets a favourable draw. Should jump out and bowl along. Rates on top.

Produced a bright display to win by 6l last month upped to this trip at Griffith in a conditions race; difficult to oppose.

RSIS

Led throughout when winning by 6L last start at Griffith and has a positive stall. Displays good tactical pace. Very hard to make the case against.

AAP

Recaptured winning form with a strong victory at Wagga. Switching to 1800m. This will test his credentials.

ILB

Strong effort to the line to win last time at this venue and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Considering others.

Returned to winning ways over 1m2f at Wagga (handicap) when Miss Defy and Mayfair Hotel were behind him 14 days ago; a likely player.

RSIS

Ran on hard when winning last time at the track and getting better in recent performances.

AAP

On a short back-up. Stationed midfield and never landed a blow at Canberra 26 Sep. Coming back in distance. Others more persuasive.

ILB

On a short back up. Started $10.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 5th last time at Canberra. Can lift.

Was fifth of eight, beaten 10l, over 1m2f at Canberra (handicap) a week ago; makes limited appeal.

RSIS

On a quick turnaround. At 9/1 didn't find the line when 5th last time at Canberra. Very tidy performer.

AAP

Gallant display at Wagga. Drops to shorter trip. One for multiples.

ILB

Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last start around here and has a nice advantage with a good gate. One of the punters top hopes.

Beaten just over 5l in fourth over 1m3f at Dubbo (handicap) yesterday; poses a threat as has bits and pieces of decent form; held an entry at Dubbo Friday.

RSIS

Kept chasing when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last run at the track and has the ideal draw. Stands out as good value.

AAP

Ordinary performance in small field at Leeton. Well into preparation now, can fill the minors here.

ILB

Was $2.45 and advanced late into 4th last time at Leeton. Jockey Quayde Krogh and trainer Peter Clancy are a formidable team. Has a great burst of speed late. Knockout chance.

Likes this combination of C&D; not disgraced when fourth over 1m at Leeton (handicap) last month; others more likely.

RSIS

Started 6/4 and ran on into 4th last time at Leeton. Quayde Krogh and Peter Clancy form a proven partnership. Has a nice turn of foot.

On a short back-up. Failed to threaten at Dubbo. Can make amends here.

ILB

On a quick turnaround. Jumped at $13.00 and faded away to finish 9th last time at Dubbo but going back up in distance.

RSIS

Backing up quickly for this race. Was 12/1 and didn't threaten when 9th last time at Dubbo but back to a rise in trip.

Winless since 29 Sep 2025. Kept grinding away for the minors at Wagga. Shapes as a rough place prospect.

ILB

Although fading at the finish still grabbed 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L last run around here and showing improvement in recent outings.

RSIS

Was in the hunt for a long way when 3rd last time around here and on an upward trajectory in recent races.

Odds correct as at 2:31 am AEST. Odds can change.
