SMALL HOURS (6) racing well without winning, placing at his last five runs. Last time finished 2nd in an A9 on September 26 over 480m at this track behind Droopys Nibble beaten 1.3 lengths (29.45). Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from five starts. Makes plenty of appeal. GOOD LUNA (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (29.63) at this track. Cannot be taken lightly. KILWEST BARNEY (3) missed the frame last time when fourth (29.60) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Comes through a solid form race last start. Cannot be taken lightly. BLUE JAZZ (2) is a last-start placegetter who is in the mix again.
