Away from the first starters the speed could come from Apache Jack, Hit Song and Homeland but each would be happy to find a leader too. HOMELAND (3) gets the blinkers on after two starts and he hasn't been far away in both to date. Excuses on debut then battled last time. Draws well for the first time and can lift sharply. NAFTALI (8) made a handy debut in a race that's already produced a subsequent winner. Made good ground and likely to be competitive in this. TARRANT COUNTY (4) is an interesting first starter who has trialled okay leading into this. Soft draw and could be in the finish. TIANNAH (7) and HIT SONG (2) are next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Homeland to win.

APACHE JACK
BEN LEES 4YO BAY GELDING 59.0KG D E McEnearney, Dr G Murray, Dr L Murray, J Murray & Ms M McLoughlin First-up after seven months faded in the straight 5th of 13 at Dubbo Super Mdn-Sw on June 7 over 1300m, on a wet track; 2.5 len behind Dreambender carrying 59kg at $61. Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Quirindi Ctry Mdn-Sw on November 16 over 1450m, 6 len behind Magic Shot carrying 57.5kg at $26. Looks a place chance. |

HIT SONG
NIKKI POLLOCK 4YO BAY GELDING 59.0KG Hillside Stud (Mgr: B Pollock) & Mrs P J Polito Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Taree Mdn-Sw on June 9 over 1262m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Rum Diary carrying 59kg at $26. The start before that raced on the pace when 3rd of 12 at Gunnedah Ctry Mdn on May 26 over 1250m, 3 len behind Foxwell carrying 53.5kg at $26. Thereabouts without winning and has a place show. |

HOMELAND
PAUL MESSARA & LEAH GAVRANICH 4YO BAY GELDING 59.0KG Arrowfield Pastoral Pty Ltd (Mgr: J M Messara) At debut, 6th of 10 at this track Mdn on May 17 over 1000m, slow going 2.75 len behind Move She Can with 59kg at $6.50.

SCOTT SINGLETON 4YO BAY MARE 57.0KG W H Lanham, Mrs A K Lanham, G Moore, P K Rolston, J D Rolston, Ms N M Duffy & W N Boyde Was at long odds at debut, 9th of 13 at this track Mdn on June 11 over 1300m, slow going 5 len behind Lights Of Paradise with 55kg at $26. Wait until she shows some more. |

RED RAGS TO BULLS
JEREMY GASK 4YO BAY MARE 57.0KG M J Abdallah & Miss D Gask Three-year-old filly (Bull Point - Gold Blush) will no doubt benefit from the two trials leading in today's debut. Fifth over 950m in a Tamworth trial on May 29. Check betting but prefer to see. |

TIANNAH
ALLAN BOYLE 5YO CHESTNUT MARE 57.0KG A M Boyle & S B Hicks Was at very long odds at debut, 5th of 12 at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw on June 11 over 1000m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Clear Thinking carrying 57kg at $81. Safely held but by a very smart type who won by over 8 lengths. So wasn't far from the rest. Each-way claims. |

NAFTALI
BRETT CAVANOUGH 3YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Greenwich Stud Pty Ltd (Mgr: G J Perry) Was well-supported at debut, 4th of 12 at Dubbo Slv Goblet on June 7 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 2 len behind Girrawheen carrying 58kg at $4. Sound enough effort at first outing and can only be improved. |
