2. I Am Chickasaw | First start for a new trainer and ran second at Sale when last second-up. Faces a rise in trip. Capable of getting into the money. |
3. Angela Sistina | Led all the way to win last start to break maiden at Tamworth and rates highly with Brooke Stower retaining the ride. Hard to hold out. |
4. Hammoon Jig | Finished four lengths back last start at Moree and should run fitter for past attempts. Not the worst. |
5. Sapello | 1-1/2 len 4th of 10 (1) $9.00 58.0 Luff 1000m Warren (Bm58) Soft(5) June 16. Held up near 300m 8-3/4 len 11th of 12 (3) $8.50 54.5 Festivaa 1200m Tamworth Hcp (C1) Soft(7) July 8. |
6. Miss Nicolini | Ran as favourite last start and placed at Gunnedah on a soft track but trial in the 28 days since last run could help. Won once this prep at Glen Innes four runs back. Right in this. |
7. Shades Of Magic | Slowly away. Inconvenienced near 400m 1-3/4 len win of 9 (8) $10.00 55.0 Uno Artie, Monetise 1400m Wellington Mdn Soft(7) July 18. 4-1/2 len 7th of 10 (3) $8.00 55.0 Not Too Bad 1420m Dubbo Hcp (C2) Soft(7) Aug 7. |
8. Kegstar | Won once this prep at Moree five runs back and ran 10th last start at Inverell. Claim should help but this looks too strong. |
9. Cheeky Chipmunk | Struggled so far this preparation but large claim helps. An untried jockey and trainer combination. Hard to have. |
10. Thundozer | Struggled so far this preparation and faded to finish five lengths off the winner last start at Muswellbrook. Claim should help but outsider. |
11. Ringo's Charm | Finished four lengths off the winner last start at Tamworth and doesn't thrive in the wet. Wide barrier is a concern. Not the worst. |
12. Hoffy's Dream | Rider told to use more vigour 2-1/4 len 5th of 10 (4) $61.00 55.0 Gannett Peak 1200m Gilgandra Hcp (C2) Soft(6) July 13. 5-3/4 len 7th of 14 (11) $26.00 55.0 Heredero 1200m Coonabarabran (Bm50) Soft(5) July 23. |
13. Super Hot | Unplaced in all seven runs this prep and doesn't thrive in the wet. Drawn the rails but still hard to get enthused. |
