WHAT FOR (9) ran eighth last start at Menangle over 1609m, beaten 11 metres. Won't spend a penny from this draw and will take plenty of beating. ROCKNROLL TONY (3) comes here just three days after finishing second beaten 17 metres over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Has the ability to make his presence felt again. WALLAROY BOY (2) is better than his last-start tenth over 1609m at this track. COOINDALAI (1) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on December 13.

Last start 10th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Hot Embers (1:57.50) in NR up to 45 on November 22 at $17. Before that, was well back in the run when 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 17 m by Robyn Taylor (1:59.50) in NR up to 34 on November 18 at $7. Can make amends.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Robyn Taylor (1:59.50) in NR up to 34 on November 18 at $34. Before that 9th (Fr4) over 1720m at Penrith, beaten 45 m by Gentle Giant (2:06.80) in NR up to 34 on November 11 at $151. Others make more appeal.

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 m by Robyn Taylor (1:59.50) in NR up to 34 on November 18 at $13. Before that was well back in the run when 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 m by War Western (1:56.10) in NR up to 34 on November 4 at $61. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
