Stake: $2,495

DIVA'S DELIGHT (1) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at this track over 400m behind Snidely Whiplash (24.02) in a Grade 5. Has never missed the frame from seven starts from this draw, including two wins. Can discover winning form. JASPER DARKE (8) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (23.04) at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Won at his only start from this draw. Expected to be in this for a long way. LAZY PINEAPPLE (3) goes very well this course and distance starting nine times for four wins and four minors. Was out of the placings last time (22.95) at Maitland in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. KING AUSSIE (2) is always a threat when he races at this track and distance.

Missed the frame latest (24.02) when sixth over 400m at this track in a Grade 5. Is yet to miss the placings from this box, including two wins. Key chance and should go close.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished sixth over 400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths (23.52) behind Reel 'Em Sissy in a Grade 5 on July 19. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.
