1. Jacquine Reward | Resumes from a long 56 week spell and first run for a new trainer. Placed in both trials but still appears tested. |
2. Just Strolling | Can't knock the form with two wins from four attempts this campaign but faded to finish 13th last start at Rosehill Gardens. Racing back from the city. Should go well. |
3. Wolf Queen | Finished 13th last start at Kensington and this campaign's form has left a lot to be desired. Racing back from the city but still outsider. |
4. Miss Kono | 6-1/2 len 7th of 9 (6) $7.00 56.0 Patagonian 900m Newcastle Open Hcp Good(4) Aug 7. 10-1/4 len last of 10 (10) $21.00 60.0 My Benalla 1000m Scone (Bm66) Good(4) Sept 7. |
5. She Hulk | Has two wins from seven attempts this campaign. Won't be far away in the run. Among the main chances. |
6. Wild Irish | Resumes from a 37 week spell and first race for Adam Duggan. Placed when trialling at Beaumont but still this looks too strong. |
7. Zakor | Finished seventh last start at Taree but will appreciate the cut in the ground. Rates highly with Georgina McDonnell back on board. Hard to hold out. |
8. Bullinachinashop | In the money last start running second at Port Macquarie on a heavy track and has gone well on a softer track. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Outside hope. |
9. C'mon And Love Me | First-up after 21 week break and having first start for a new trainer. Has shown potential in trials. Chance. |
10. Small Town | Strong in winning last start at Tamworth when fresh and will appreciate the cut in the ground. Leading hope. |
11. Tango Stepz | Finished worse than midfield last start at Dubbo on a heavy track but rates highly with Reece Jones aboard. One for wider exotics. |
12. Hercules Mo | Ran ninth last start at Coonamble when first up and has not handled softer tracks well. Has won twice at Scone before but still prefer to watch go around. |
