DIGGER SURE CAN (2) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and two placings from eight starts. Below best last time at The Gardens (30.03) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length fourth. Rates on top and should go close.

SEE THIS (6) is progressing well scoring last time out (29.75) at Richmond and bringing up his 16th career win. Form here excellent including two wins. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Likely to be in the finish. HOT SHOT ETHICS (1) profiles nicely over this trip.

Was out of placings last time (18.83) at Richmond Straight in a NG, finishing eighth and beaten 19 lengths. Placed at all three starts from this draw. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Hasn't produced too much recently, and faces tougher opposition here. Looks outclassed here.

Good performance to win by 1.3 lengths at Richmond over 520m (29.75) beating Zipping Marquez in NG on July 3. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.

Won two starts back at this track over 450m in 25.44. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 450m at this track at Grade 5 level. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to win by a nose at this track over 450m (25.24) beating Occulent in Grade 4/5 on August 3. Should be prominent.
