CUZZY BRO (1) went back last start and failed to threaten when 14 metres from the winner in 11th at this track over 1680m. That effort followed a nice fourth at this track two runs ago. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field and he can turn in a much better performance. MAGICIAN (6) is back from a break of 11 weeks and looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. GO THE RED (2) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished fifth over 2090m at Hobart last time out. WATERMELON SUGAR NZ (3) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 2090m at Hobart last time out.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 11th (Fr4) over 1680m after being wide early at this track, at the bell was 11th-21.4 beaten 14 m by Centurian Miss (2:02.10) on October 4 at $3. Before that, 4th (Fr1) over 2200m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 2.5 m by Bettablack Tiger (2:40.20) on September 27 at $3.30. No surprise if he turned things around.

Two back was beaten by 10 m finishing fifth behind Maebee at this track over 2200m on October 4 at $7. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Horatius Speculo at Hobart over 2090m on October 11 at $17. Gets his chance to break through.
