HICKO (8) was last at the races when he finished sixth over 1106m at Remington Park (Dirt) on September 27. Capable of playing a major role. BOTE (9) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Delta Downs (Dirt), finishing second and only 0.8 lengths from the winner at the end of 1308m after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. TASK (2) lines up for the first time since May 3. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1207m at this track. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Makes plenty of appeal. DEVILS FORK (3) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths. In the right race and is one of the big hopes.
