KICKOFF (7) has been more competitive at her last couple of runs when ridden in front. Was under siege a fair way from home but didn't shirk the task when a close fourth over 1350m at Wyong last start. Big chance to finally break through back in a country maiden. RONNY BEE (2) last appeared when beaten under a length on debut over 1200m at Dubbo six months ago. Leading contender with a little natural improvement to come. HOO HAA (6) returns from a nine-week lay-off. Raced well last prep including a close third over a similar trip to this at Wyong. Will be better for this hit-out but cannot be overlooked. NOT MY PROBLEM (11) wound up late without threatening on debut recently over 1200m at Tamworth. In the mix over this slightly longer journey. LITTLE BUBBLES (10) is a bit hit-and-miss but ran a nice race here two back so must be respected.
