Stake: $4,224

BAGMAN (1) missed the frame last time, finishing 5th (30.15) last time in a Free For All at Sandown. Has won here at this journey. Has ability and is a key runner. HERE COMES DEZEL (2) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 4 length second (29.85) over 515m at Sandown. Has never been out of the placings from two starts out of this box. Expected to feature again. BEBOP JAZZ (4) finished fifth last time at Geelong but could not have been more impressive before that in her fast 25.77 win at Geelong over 460m. Top win two back and can measure up again. RIVERSDALE MICK (7) justified the favourite's tag last time - sure to feature again.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.15) in a Free For All, finishing a 15 length fifth. Has three successes and seven minors from 12 starts from box 1. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Placed last time (29.85) at Sandown in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten 4 lengths. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Geelong over 460m. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 FIN on July 25 over 460m at Geelong behind Extradited beaten 8 lengths (26.22). The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 510m at this track in a handy (28.81), beating Make Me King. Can make it back to back wins.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd over 450m at Shepparton beaten 1.3 lengths (25.24) behind Lanky Larry in a Grade 4/5 on July 28. Very reliable from this draw. Live chance.
