FEDERAL PLAYER (5) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 9 lengths at this track in a handy 22.10. Has a tricky draw to overcome but likes the trip. In sparkling form and expected to measure up again. COOKIE MAN (2) is better than last start when fourth (20.08) from Box 3 at Gunnedah over 340m. Better than last start and can bounce back. TORNADO ETHICS (7) missed the frame latest (25.41) when fourth over 450m at this track in a Grade 5. Already a winner from this draw. Suited here and expected to run well. HIS FERNANDO (1) comes here following a sizzling win in 19.56 last time. Must include.

Was out of placings last time (20.08) at Gunnedah in a NG, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Strong record off the draw with four wins and two minors from seven starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.46 over 400m at this track. Coming out of a very strong form race. Can feature with the right run.

In the money last time at The Gardens (30.11) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 5 length third. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and nine minors. Will need the right run.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last five starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a NG on April 6 over 400m at this track behind Blazin' Fire beaten 6 lengths (22.67). Hard to have this time.
