STARANE (5) comes here in peak form and has a good record over this track and trip. Sat on the good speed when a fighting fourth over 1100m at Dubbo. Back in grade and goes close today. STRATIFIED (3) trained locally and stable in form. Won well two-back, before disappointing when eleventh over 1100m at Bathurst. Can hold a position from the wide draw and expected to bounce back. AWAYGOESTHEBUNNY (1) exciting gelding resuming. Undefeated at this track and returned good figures when a smart winner over 1400m at Rosehill in Highway grade last September. Looked ready when winning a recent 1000m trial at Scone. Gets his chance with the claim. ROUGE MOULIN (4) massive win first-up at Dubbo and can go on with the job now in this harder contest.
