1. Deemed Corrupt | Ran as favourite last start and placed at Gundagai but has six placings from 10 runs this prep. Drawn the rails. Leading hope. |
2. Our Johnnie | Resumes from a 39 week spell and yet to place in 10 attempts. Drop in distance a real concern. Unlikely. |
3. White Emperor | Hampered near 200m 3-1/2 len 5th of 10 (4) $17.00 55.0 Huxton Creeper 1000m Wagga Mdn Hcp Soft(5) Dec 24. 6-1/4 len last of 7 (7) $5.50 55.0 Idle Fancy 1180m Gundagai Hcp (C1) Good(3) Jan 1. |
4. Jolien | A 15 start maiden and has not won at Tumut previously. Unlikely. |
5. Pippin | Finished worse than midfield last start at Queanbeyan when first up and ran fifth at Gunnedah when last second-up. Returns to shorter trip. One for wider exotics. |
6. Thuwaany | Ran ninth last start at Corowa and down in distance. Will take a power of beating. |
7. Words Unspoken | In the money last start running third at Gundagai and large claim helps. Has placed in two runs from six this campaign. Chance. |
8. Fell's Hero | Faded to finish fourth last start at Gundagai and carrying more weight. Should settle towards the rear. This looks too strong. |
9. Rock Queen | Graham Byatt debutant and has a place in two trials. 2kg claim should help. Watch the market. |
