SOLWAY AUSSIE (5) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A4 at this track over 480m (29.22). Back a class and looks the hard to beat on best form. MIDTOWN ROMEO (2) is in top form with back to back wins. Claimed an A6 two back then scored by 3 lengths in an A6 last time at this track over 480m (29.41). Up another grade but hard to fault recent form. A real threat again. ALNWICK RIVER (6) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at his last four runs. Last start finished 3rd on August 5 over 480m at this track behind Whitehills Logan beaten 1.5 lengths (29.43) in an A5. Must be included in calculations. BLACKHOUSEHARIET (1) is a last start winner and can go on with it.
