Without a great deal of early pace evident Bounding Bon may lead the way over Badgers Bridge. BOUNDING BON (1) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished a close second over this trip at Wagga after being in contention on the bend. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CODONAS (2) returns. Was last seen back in May when rattling home into second at Parkes. With expected improvement, he's sure to be competitive. NIGHTWALKER (8) finished third over this journey at Dubbo two back then followed it up with a solid chasing fourth at Bathurst. Backs up quickly over the shorter journey and gets the blinkers on. Can play a major role. RUBY HARMONY (7) resumes and is having her first outing under new trainer Stephen Edwards. Finished fifth at Sale over 1110m at the opening run last time in work. One of the genuine hopes. BADGERS BRIDGE (6) is open to further improvement at her third outing. Worth keeping in mind. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bounding Bon gets the nod.
