PATRIOT GAME (4) hit the ground running and set it up early clocking 29.84 with a 1.75 lengths win at this track over 491m. Form from his last run is proving strong. Well placed and will be tough to beat. BOWES HILL BOCKO (1) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at his last four runs. Last time finished 3rd over 664m at this track beaten 1.2 lengths (41.66) behind Rossa Vita in a OR on August 15. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Bold showing expected. CHLOES LEXIE (6) struggled to get involved last start after settling well back at this track, but prior to that won by half a length at this track (30.33) beating Roseville Icon in an A3 on August 3. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Worth following up. BALLYHIMIKIN JOE (2) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.
