Moderate pace with The Big Ticket taking up the running ahead of Show Us Ya Texts and Dancing Tilda. DANCING TILDA (3) had strung together some sound efforts before struggling to run a strong 1635m at Grafton last start. Back to a more suitable journey today. Placed at both heavy track runs so this set-up looks ideal. HILLBILLY HIPPIE (10) produced an eye-catcher two back over this distance at Inverell then took on a $50k maiden over 1512m at Coffs Harbour last time and struggled. Back in her right race today so watch for a return to form. THE BIG TICKET (7) drove late but just missed at his latest appearance in a similar race to this. Has placed just three times in 37 starts but all those placings have come at Taree. Good each-way option. DURNESS (8) returned from an 18-week spell with a sound effort over this distance at Moree recently. Lightly raced four-year-old mare who can build on that performance. KIWI HARMONY (12) has been finding the line well in her races and handles heavy going so don't leave her out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Dancing Tilda.
