TEA OR COFFEE (5) resumed from a lengthy spell with a gritty third over 1200m at Tamworth on December 2. Further improved and the tongue-tie goes on from the good draw. This looks easier. PRINCE OF PROPHETS (4) appreciated the firmer footing on resumption when coming from last on the turn for a narrow second over 1006m at Grafton on November 25. Shouldn't be a maiden for long. NORTHERN BOOGIE (3) backs-up quickly after battling late when sixth over 1100m at Armidale on December 8. Blinkers come off and since been gelded. Genuine contender. NIKODY'S DIEGO (2) best effort for some time when sitting on the speed for a tenacious second over 1400m at Armidale on December 8. A repeat effort gives him each way claims.
