WHISKY BENT (2) was well fancied last time on the strength of the win two back but could only manage third (23.06) at Maitland. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Expected to feature in the finish again. DURAN QUEEN (1) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 23.14 beating RHONDA FULL DAY. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from five starts. Leading player again. OCCULENT (7) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start eighth (30.80) at Wentworth Park. Has a good record here including three wins. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Cannot be taken lightly. LET'S TROT WILL (8) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Won her last three in a row including a narrow win last start racing on the pace over 400m at this track by a neck in a Grade 5. In hot form and can take this out.

Fast starter. Latest effort finished last over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 10 lengths (30.80) behind Bombay in a Grade 5 on August 8. Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.

Didn't make the placings last time at Taree Super Track (17.99) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length fifth. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Can feature with the right run.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 320m at Richmond. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
