SERG BLANCO NZ (5) led and finished the race off well to score a resuming win at Mildura last start, arriving 10 metres ahead of his rivals. Draws wider but could go on with it. CLYMENUS NZ (3) has been racing well. Put the writing on the wall with a second at Melton two back before coming from the back line and getting home by a head at Kilmore. Has the benefit of a good draw. Leading hope. TOUGH AINT ENOUGH (4) was held up for a clear run last time but was good when runner-up at Mildura prior. WHERES THE GOLD NZ (6) only beat a couple home when stepping out for the new yard last time but was a Bathurst winner prior.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr6) over 1609m at Newcastle beaten 24 m by Mister Cheese (1:53.20) on June 12 at $18. Two runs back 4th (Fr6) over 1980m after showing early speed at Tamworth beaten 23 m by Mccrikey (2:27.40) on May 28 at $26. Not keen on her chances in this field.

Resumed from a 223-day break with a strong win by 9 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Mildura (2:40.50) beating Komodo in on July 17 at $1.60 at the bell was leading 2.7. Will be fitter for that run and is the testing material.
