Bamboozle has jumped in front in each of her four Wentworth Park starts and should only need to maintain those impeccable box manners to lead all the way there on Thursday night.
Bamboozle has box three in the Ladbrokes Bet Ticker Stakes, a 520m fifth grade, and trainer Chris O'Brien is pleased his bitch has drawn close to the rails.
"When she jumped fast from box seven at Wentworth Park last Saturday night she carved across to the rails and helped give Dalwhinnie a clear run down the outside from box eight,'' O'Brien said.
"Before that Bamboozle had led all the way from box five in 29.92 and she still recorded 30.02 when a distant second behind Dalwhinnie on Saturday.''
O'Brien also has high hopes for Questionable who has box eight in Thursday night's NSW GBOTA Welcome Maiden over 520m.
Questionable has been placed in two of three Wentworth Park appearances and posted a personal best 29.95 when chasing home Dalwhinnie in track record time of 29.03 on October 24.
"She has box eight on Thursday but I don't mind her out there,'' O'Brien said.
"What I liked about her run behind Dalwhinnie was that she didn't give up, even though the record breaker was a mile in front leaving the back straight.
"Questionable kept chasing despite being was nowhere near the lure so I was encouraged by that effort.''
Aston Florin has not raced over 520m since July but is ready to see out that trip in Thursday night's Ladbrokes Sports Bar Stakes, a 520m fifth grade.
Aston Florin boasts a slick personal best Wentworth Park first split of 5.41 and Darryl Thomas, whose partner Michelle Sultana trains the Ray Borda-owned bitch, is confident she can go fast again.
"If she nails the start I think Aston Florin is capable of breaking 5.40 to the first mark but our concern is that she is not well drawn in box three,'' Thomas said.
"She will want to get up the track when she jumps so she will need a bit of luck to secure a clear run to the first corner.''
Aston Florin's best Wentworth Park figures of 29.94 were recorded from box six when she raced wide throughout.
Trainer Greg Hore has four of the six runners in Thursday's Follow RPV Race Image Stakes, a non graded 720m event, but concedes he is not guaranteed to land the winner.
Hore trains Cassie Cool (box one), Siska Lucy (two), On The Razzle (four) and Siska Tommy, who has box seven.
"I expect one of mine to win but Mister O'Brien, who has box five, is down in class, while Lukiali, who has eight, is promising,'' Hore said.
"Of my four I think On The Razzle will be the pacemaker but I'm not sure how strong he will be at the end of 720m.
"I lean to Siska Lucy because she is close to ideally positioned near the rails.
"Siska Tommy can handle an outside box so he is drawn all right too, but Siska Lucy ran him down to win at Wentworth Park last Saturday night and could do the same again.
"But Saturday's race was Siska Tommy's first 720m test since July so he should be improved by the experience.''
