MYSTIC WAY (6) has filled a minor placing on two occasions in eight starts. Failed to add to the tally last time out when sixth over 1206m at Port Macquarie. Has recorded two minor placings from four tries at this distance. Expected to run well. SWEET MARLENE (7) has filled a minor placing on five occasions in 12 starts. Failed to add to the tally last time out when fifth over 1006m at Port Macquarie. Has a good record at this distance with two top-three results from four starts. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Among the leading chances. BATTLE REIGN (8) is a three-start maiden who finished fourth at her most recent appearance over 1206m at Port Macquarie. Worth including in this suitable contest. HELL OF A LOVE (4) was last at the races when she finished eighth over 1370m at Bowraville on September 21. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
