Runner Comments

1. Meteor Light	Rider concerned with action 22-3/4 len last of 9 (1) $15.00 55.5 Torrens 2200m Eagle Farm (Bm78) Good(4) Dec 26. 11-1/4 len 8th of 9 (8) $31.00 53.5 Happy Go Plucky 2200m Doomben (Bm78) Soft(5) Jan 7.
2. Predictable Miss	Can't knock the form with two wins from eight attempts this campaign and up in trip. Drawn ideally. Expected to be a contender.
3. Bullet Shot	Ran fourth last start at Lismore and widest barrier is a concern. Just the one placing this campaign at Armidale. Place.
4. Hanna From Havana	Short back-up of seven days and has gone well on a softer track. Should race on the speed. A good chance.
5. Prince of Arran	Slowly away 1-1/4 len win of 10 (9) $7.50 54.0 Unleash The Red, Spirit Of Husson 1600m Ballina (Bm66) Soft(6) Dec 8. 7-3/4 len 8th of 9 (5) $4.20F 56.0 Wamwarra Bay 1590m Ballina (Bm66) Soft(6) Jan 3.
6. Wamwarra Bay	Can't knock the form winning two in a row at Ballina and Murwillumbah. Has gone well on a softer track. Sneaky chance.
7. Unleash the Red	Faded to finish six lengths off the winner last start at Murwillumbah but has two placings from four runs this prep. Drawn out wide. This looks too strong.
8. Saintly Sunrise	Finished midfield last start at Coffs Harbour on a heavy track and faces a rise in distance. Goes down in weight. Not out of it.
9. Beckford	Looking for a hatrick after winning two in a row at Lismore and Beaudesert. Up in trip. Serious player.
10. Political	Vetted - no abnormalities 7-3/4 len 5th of 11 (4) $5.00 56.5 Poet Lad 1600m Gunnedah Hcp (C2) Good(3) Dec 15. Keen 10 len 6th of 14 (4) $7.50 57.5 Italian Tune 2015m Coffs Harbour (Bm58) Heavy(10) Dec 30.
11. Rippa Eagle	Short back-up of seven days and gets the blinkers back on. Carries a lot less weight but still looks tested.
12. Glycine Max	Finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Murwillumbah and no wins in six past runs at Ballina. Carrying less weight but not here.
13. Spirit of Husson	Ran sixth last start at Ballina on a soft track and no wins in 11 past runs at the track. Up in trip. Not in this.
14. Mister Maker	Unplaced in all five runs this prep and finished 11 lengths off the winner last start at Coffs Harbour on a heavy track. Without a win in three runs at Ballina. Prefer to watch go around.
