IM LORD TOMMY (9) scored at his last run just a couple of days ago over 2260m at Bathurst, getting home by 5 metres. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. UNCLE SPORTY (10) went back last start and couldn't get into the race when 18 metres from the winner in eighth at Bathurst over 1730m. Has failed to fire since he was in the placings at Bathurst on March 12. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Primary contender if he is at his best. YARRAMAN JOLT (8) must be considered after he finished third over 1660m at Parkes six days ago. TULHURST TOOT TOOT (7) is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her score over 1660m at Parkes.
