PRIVATE JAKE (8) goes very well here starting 13 times for five wins and four minors. Below best last time at this track (20.17) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 1.75 lengths fourth. Rates a leading player. SUDDEN SURPRISE (1) gave a start after copping a check in running and missed the frame when a 11 length sixth (17.88) at Taree Super Track in a NG. Better than last start and can bounce back. BOGAN KNOWS (2) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 2.5 lengths (18.78) at Dubbo. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from eight starts. Key runner on best form. SALAMAT (6) is another with top-three prospects.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (23.04) over 400m at The Gardens. Aided by the inside draw and in the mix on his best form.

Didn't make the placings last time at Dubbo (18.78) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths fourth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Can feature with the right run.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow sixth (20.21) over 340m at this track. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Last start finished 4th in a Grade 4/5 on March 25 over 340m at this track behind Prince Bernardo beaten 1.75 lengths (20.17). Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.
