1. Barry's Lane | Ran three lengths back from the winner last start at Scone and should run fitter for past attempts. Up in journey. Can surprise. |
2. Bon Vavont | Failed to win as a favourite last start at Coffs Harbour on a heavy track but has four placings from nine runs this prep. Wide barrier is a concern. Not out of it. |
3. Justcallmejimmy | Finished eighth last start at Scone and won once this prep at Muswellbrook two runs back. Expected to settle off the speed. Appears tested. |
4. Stable Talk | Short back-up of five days. Just missed at long odds last start at Coonamble and won once this prep at Quirindi five runs back. Outsider. |
5. Top Hoffa | Won once this prep at Newcastle 10 runs back and blinkers come off. Wide barrier is a concern. Cannot entertain. |
6. Den Moss | On a five day back-up and has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier. Capable of getting into the money. |
7. Kennysing | Slowly away. Eased near turn. Inconvenienced near 300m 1-1/4 len 4th of 14 (14) $12.00 58.5 My Sonny's Faith 1400m Inverell Mdn Soft(7) May 27. 2 len win of 13 (11) $5.00 59.0 Bold Direction, Jacinda Belle 1725m Grafton Mdn Plate Soft(7) June 11. |
8. Jesellix | Amongst the placegetters last start running third at Armidale on a heavy track. Expected to settle off the speed and up in distance. Expected to be a contender. |
9. Legible Star | Winner despite being unwanted in the betting last start to break maiden at Armidale on a heavy track but is unplaced in 12 attempts with the sting out of the ground. Concern is the wide barrier. Prefer to watch go around. |
10. Mirror Queen | Ran nine lengths back from the winner last start at Newcastle and should run fitter for past attempts. Expected to settle off the speed. Should go well. |
11. Miss Nicolini | In the money last start running second at Moree on a soft track and drawn the rails. Won once this prep at Glen Innes two runs back. Commands respect. |
12. Electric Daisy | Still a maiden after 31 starts but only just missed last start, finishing a neck back from the winner at Warren. Wide barrier is a concern. Looks tested. |
13. Elegant Poetess | Checked near 400m 4-1/2 len 5th of 13 (8) $6.50 57.0 Mojo Classic 1600m Dubbo Mdn Heavy(8) June 3. 1-1/4 len win of 9 (6) $7.00 57.0 Party Stop, Superargo 1600m Gosford Mdn Plate Soft(5) June 23. |
14. Sure Strategy | Short back-up of seven days and returns to shorter trip. Looking elsewhere. |
