Narromine Picks

Not a lot between the top three in this. TAIPAN LEGEND on a five day back-up and placed when fresh, commands respect. GRANDINI kept chasing and just missed last start at Scone when fresh, right in this. INFINITE PRINCE on a seven day back-up and finished midfield last start at Wellington, can figure. TRUST A KITTY has four placings from four runs this prep but only able to place as favourite last start at Warren, could threaten.

HARD TOO IMPRESS back from 37 week spell and has placed in both races run, perfectly placed. CHARLIE MAGIC on a seven day back-up and was narrowly beaten as a favourite last start at Wellington, not without each-way claims. MASQUE LISTO first start and has shown potential in trials, place claims. BIG BAD BEAUTIFUL resumes from a spell of 41 weeks and finished in the middle of the pack at only start at Gilgandra, needs the breaks.

BEAUTY EDGE first-up after 13 week break, has solid claims. DAFFERS in the money at only start running third at Warren, each-way claims. CASINO DIVA on debut and ran in three trials, looks threatening. BLOOMIN' HELL on a seven day back-up and finished sixth at only start at Wellington, not without each-way claims.

SHEN GUI has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier and has two placings from three runs this prep, will take the power of beating. HIT THE RIM coming off a win at Warren and drawn the rails, place hope. SHAQUILA led throughout for a dominant win last start at Orange on a soft track and won't be far away in the run, strong place chance. MRS BULL won once this prep at Dubbo two runs back and should race on the speed, chance to place.

ROMANTIC LOVE strong in winning at only start at Warren and has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw, tough to beat. GRINS on a seven day back-up and faded to finish on the winners' heels last start at Wellington, capable of getting into the money. GECKO COIN back from let-up and rates highly with Heavelon Van Der Hoven retaining the ride, place chance. ROCKIN' EDITION resumes after a 33 week spell and resumes well running third at Coonabarabran when last first-up, needs the breaks.

Impossible to go past the top pick. OPEN PEARLY GATES has won at Dubbo and placed twice this prep, major contender. STAR INTRIGUE a winner at first outing this prep and in the money last start running third at Dubbo, not the worst. MARGARET'S MISSILE 2 wins from 12 attempts this campaign and won last start at Orange, strong place chance. I'M SCARLETT 3 wins from four attempts this campaign and came on to finish midfield last start at Warren, place chance.

LOCKDOWN GAMBLE racing back from the city and four from six wins have been in the dry, well placed. VINCENZO drawn ideally and comes back to race at a country level, still in this. MACLEAY surprised punters to win at long odds last start at Coonabarabran and three from five wins have been in the dry, could threaten. SEA OF FLAMES was narrowly beaten as a favourite last start at Warren and Shayleigh Ingelse has had success aboard previously, place best.

JET EMPRESS won last start at Dubbo and two wins from five attempts this campaign, big chance. STRATIFIED strong in winning last start at Warren and in strong form with two wins from 10 attempts this campaign, looks threatening. GIDGEE GUY placed last start at long odds at Dubbo when resuming and four of seven wins have come from dry ground, quinella. ACOTANGO placed once this prep at Moree but finished 10th last start at Coonabarabran and likely to settle back in the field, place chance.
