Morley Growers Market (Rs1mw)
Progressive mare showing excellent consistency with strong recent form. Gets in well at the weights and the Pike/Pearce combination is significant. Should get an ideal run from barrier 4 and has tactical versatility. The step up to 1400m looks suitable based on racing pattern.
Consistent mare with strong track/distance credentials. Drawn to get a nice run just off the speed and conditions suit. The weight is a slight concern but has earned it through consistency. Porter/Pearce combination going well and should run another honest race.
Well-drawn mare who should get all favors from barrier 1. Recent form is solid without winning and the slight drop in weight is favorable. Lucy Warwick knows the horse well and stable is in good form. Should be able to hold a forward position from the inside gate.
Lightly raced improver who gets in with a lovely lightweight. The Parnham stable knows how to place their runners and this gelding looks ready for the step up in trip.

TABtouch - Westspeed Platinum Autumn Series Heat 2 (Rs0ly)
Consistent performer with strong win rate and excellent recent form. The booking of William Pike is significant and despite carrying top weight, appears well placed under the conditions. Should get a perfect run just off the speed.
Coming off an excellent last start second and the inside draw gives options. New gear suggests further improvement likely and the weight drop is significant. Should get every chance from the good gate.
Brings strong credentials with multiple wins at track/distance. The claim helps offset the weight and recent form has been consistent. Maps to get a good run but might need some luck in the straight.
Fresh specialist with strong first-up record and gets in well at the weights. The long break between runs is a concern but stable knows how to get them ready.

Peters Investments (Rs1mw)
Mare in peak form winning three of last four starts. Gets all favors from barrier 2 with a lightweight and should settle midfield. The step up in class is offset by weight relief and natural improvement. Looks perfectly placed to continue winning form.
Promising 3YO stepping up in trip but racing in great heart. The 1800m is a query but breeding suggests it will suit. Gets in light and maps to get a good run.
Reliable galloper who rarely runs poorly. The Pike booking is significant and he should get a nice trail midfield despite wide draw. The weight is a concern but class could carry him through. Expect another honest showing.
