Stake: $915

MUST BE GOOD (6) was a last start winner this course and distance taking a D3 in 15.92 in the best time on the card and clocking a personal best as well. Has the ability and expected to go close again. SPORTING JUPITER (2) lines up chasing another win after getting around the 261m at this track in a quick 15.93 on July 20. Top win latest and rates a key player again. RUBIK CUBE (3) is going better than form suggests, missing the frame last time at this track but was placed three back followed by a close up fourth. Can hit the frame this time. ROCKY BAY ESKE (5) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when second (16.16) at this track in a D2.
