Inverell Tips

This looks like a one act affair. INTERNATIONAL on a five day back-up and has two placings from three runs this prep, rates a long way in front. HERE'S MASON ran three lengths back from the winner last start at Grafton, for the exotics. MAGICAL EYE back from 13 week spell and likely to race on the speed in a race with minimal pressure expected, outside hope. CACTUS CAN placed when fresh and ran fifth last start at Toowoomba, include in exotics.

NIPPER BEE back from 22 week spell, perfectly placed. INJAIR first-up after 22 week spell and gets the blinkers back on, not without each-way claims. TOO CASUAL faded to finish five lengths off the winner last start at Moree and returns to shorter trip, strong place chance. SIMPLY DIVINE faded to finish five lengths off the winner last start at Port Macquarie when first up, chance to place.

RURA PENTHE ran on strong to finish on the winner's heels last start at Quirindi and likely to race off the speed, perfectly placed. POWER BEAU only just missed last start, finishing a neck back from the winner at Warren and won once this prep at Tamworth five runs back, sneaky chance. A TENT HUT won once this prep at Armidale two runs back and first try at this distance, capable of getting into the money. MARALAGO did nothing to threaten last start at Muswellbrook, place only.

ARTIC PANTHER led throughout for a dominant win last start to break maiden at Armidale and has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw, has solid claims. LESGO DON coming off a win at Moree and Ella Drew a bonus, don't dismiss. BOWDARCIE in the money last start running third at Coffs Harbour on a soft track and rates highly with Yvette Lewis aboard, place claims. CONTRIVED has run well in these conditions and won once this prep at Wyong five runs back, place best.

Appears only three winning chances. KINGSTAR BULLET goes well at Inverell and has gone well on a softer track, should go well. MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN finished fourth last start at Armidale and rates highly with Shayleigh Ingelse aboard, should be thereabouts. DON QUIXOTE on a four day back-up and in the money last start running third at Scone on a soft track, can figure. HARDYO has very strong form at Inverell and rates highly with Shannen Llewellyn retaining the ride, don't dismiss.

Hard to split the top two selections. GLORIEN looking for a hatrick after winning two in a row at Tamworth and Armidale, a close top selection. MUST BE THE MONEY short back-up of five days and placed at long odds last start at Warwick on a soft track, should be thereabouts. PRINCE CARLOS faded to finish on the winners' heels last start at Tamworth and won once this prep at Armidale four runs back, not without each-way claims. GULF OF GABES kept chasing and just missed last start at Moree, cannot be ruled out.
