OPAWA MOCHA (8) boasts a strong record this course with 20 wins and four minors from 26 tries. Placed last time (17.22) at this track in a R/A H, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths.

Looks suited here and can measure up. DINGO NIGHT (5) goes very well here starting 22 times for 13 wins and six minors. Missed the frame latest (17.59) when fourth over 295m at this track in a R/A H. Looks well placed here and among the chances. DIAMOND RANGER (4) will have admirers after placing last time out.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 295m at this track in a handy (17.09), beating Priority. Will find this a bit tougher, happy to risk this time.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 295m. Last start finished 4th in a R/A H on July 10 over 295m at this track behind Opawa Gordon beaten 7 lengths (17.59). Has run hot time here with a 16.72 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Has been racing extremely well, putting five wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won easily by 3.5 lengths at this track (16.72) beating Diamond Ranger in a R/A H on July 10. In hot form and can take this out.
