TRICKLE (2) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at Muswellbrook over 431m behind Kiando Diva (25.49) in a Grade 5. The form from his last run stacks up well. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. DAPHNE ZACAPA (1) turned in a solid run last start over 388m at Gosford finishing 4th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (22.62). Has a good record here at this journey. Likely to be about the mark. CODY THE CHAMP (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (17.72) in a Grade 4/5 at Taree Super Track. Form at the trip sound including three wins. Bold showing expected. ROOKIE RED (7) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Was out of placings last time (22.62) at Gosford in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in eight runs from this box, including five wins. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing eighth (25.49) at Muswellbrook before going for a three-and-a-half months spell. Makes plenty of appeal while fresh.

Failed to finish the race over 400m at this track last start. Prior to that was beaten 5 lengths over 388m at Gosford in a Grade 4/5. Prefer in something easier.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 400m at this track. Others hold stronger claims.
