Just a moderate tempo headed by Yanabah, Down The Kooka and Nulkaba Star. TARRANT COUNTY (10) will relish the extra distance after making good ground from last on the turn when third over 1250m at Gunnedah. Proven at this track and Osmond retains the ride. Goes close. NULKABA STAR (2) will hold a forward position again after gripping on late when third over 1300m at Scone. Comes here in peak condition and sure to be thereabouts. JU TWO (5) fourth up for this and capable of better after disappointing when hard in the market at his last two outings. Never looked comfortable in the run and clearly failed to back up when seventh over 1400m at Inverell. Worth another chance. GHAZNAVI (7) since fitted with a 1200m trial and the extra distance is in his favour. Will find this easier after chipping away late when sixth over 1300m at Scone. Leading prospect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tarrant County to appreciate this distance.
