1. Mathematics | Finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Tamworth when resuming and has plenty of weight. Comes to hand quickly and won at Dubbo when last second-up. A good chance. |
2. Schemer | Has got off to a poor start this campaign but should improve with fitness and unsighted last start at Taree. All wins have come when faced with dry ground but prefer others. |
3. He's Our Toy Boy | Short back-up of seven days. Faded to finish seventh last start at Scone and has not won in six outings to Tamworth before. Appears tested. |
4. Kensington Kid | Led all the way to win last start at Walcha and two wins from 10 attempts this campaign. Goes up in weight. Place hope. |
5. Magic On Ice | Won once this prep at Muswellbrook two runs back and ran four lengths back from the winner last start at Gosford on a soft track. Up in trip. Should go well. |

7. Rightful Heir | Faded to finish fifth last start at Muswellbrook on a soft track when resuming but placed at Tamworth in only second-up attempt, still cannot entertain. |
8. Cozhecancan | Back after 15 week break and resumes well running second at Tamworth when last first-up. Must respect. |
9. Zounami | On a seven day back-up and has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw. Likely to race on the speed. Appears safely held. |
10. Eye On America | Unplaced in all five runs this prep but has very strong form at Tamworth. Favourably drawn. Place only. |
11. Hillandale | Slowly away. Checked near 1000m 9-1/2 len 7th of 9 (8) $101.00 57.5 Unamerican 1875m Newcastle 3yo+ (C1) Good(4) Oct 13. 7-1/2 len 6th of 11 (11) $20.00 56.0 Urbino 2000m Port Macquarie 3yo+ Plate (C1) Soft(6) Oct 25. |
12. Gold Codes | Finished midfield last start at Gilgandra on a soft track and wide barrier is a concern. Rise in distance a concern. Looking elsewhere. |
13. Billy Bent Ear | On a seven day back-up. Ran four lengths back from the winner last start at Scone and up in distance. Beautifully placed. |
14. Yesido | Back after 16 week break and doesn't take many to get going winning one when fresh. Returns to shorter trip. Prefer others. |
