IMAMACK faded to finish seven lengths off the winner at only start at Tuncurry on a heavy track, cannot be ruled out.

CUMBOOGLE faded to finish five lengths off the winner last start at Dubbo, the real danger in the race. ITHICUS faded to finish seven lengths off the winner last start at Dubbo on a soft track, still in this.

Ran one and a half lengths back from the winner last start at Dubbo on a soft track, if in the finish no surprise. JAMESON has got off to a poor start this campaign but should improve with fitness and draws to do no work, quinella. AIR COMBAT Clayton Gallagher a bonus and won once this prep at Dubbo two runs back, place claims.

STELLA SIMONE back from long 41 week spell and gets the winkers back on, each-way claims. TOMMY'S GIRL short back-up of five days and placed last start at long odds at Wellington, looks threatening.

GILDED CROWN short back-up of seven days and likely to race off the speed, chance to place. JADE DIVISION unwanted by the market but right up there last start at Dubbo on a soft track, place only.
