OVERVIEW: SILVER PISTOL (10) won a heat of the New South Wales Derby earlier in the season and his two runs back from a spell have been sound. He came from last when third in a sizzling mile rate of 1.53.9 at his latest attempt so he must be respected. CALEXICO (8) is resuming since June but he produced a tidy display when second behind the open class pacer Dangerous at a recent Bendigo trial performance so he should go well. FORTY LOVE (9) progressed forward to find the lead and ran along at a genuine tempo when a big winner at Melton last outing. He is a tough competitor and looms as one of the leading chances again. RUFF NUT (7) is shooting for a hat trick after successive victories at Melton. He has a tough draw to overcome but he is very strong so he is worth an investment.

OVERVIEW: SILVER PISTOL (10) won a heat of the New South Wales Derby earlier in the season and his two runs back from a spell have been sound. He came from last when third in a sizzling mile rate of 1.53.9 at his latest attempt so he must be respected. CALEXICO (8) is resuming since June but he produced a tidy display when second behind the open class pacer Dangerous at a recent Bendigo trial performance so he should go well. FORTY LOVE (9) progressed forward to find the lead and ran along at a genuine tempo when a big winner at Melton last outing. He is a tough competitor and looms as one of the leading chances again. RUFF NUT (7) is shooting for a hat trick after successive victories at Melton. He has a tough draw to overcome but he is very strong so he is worth an investment.
