A solid tempo on the cards with Taipan Legend heading them off. GREAT POINT (3) underrated mare who comes out of a strong Highway after drifting back early and failing to get into the contest when twelfth over 1600m at Randwick on January 4. Has a solid record on her home track and expected to bounce back with Small's 3kg claim. HAMMOON THUNDER (2) relished the extra trip second-up with the 61kg when stalking the speed for a gritty third over 1500m at Muswellbrook. Reece Jones rides again and worth noting he's undefeated over the mile. TAIPAN LEGEND (5) rewarded for his consistency at start fifteen when shedding his maiden status in C1 grade this trip at Dubbo. Up in weight and doesn't have to improve much to play a leading role again. CORPSMAN (6) stretches out to the 1600m for the first time after charging late in the heavy conditions when an eye-catching second over 1450m at Muswellbrook. Can race closer today and has genuine each-way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Great Point to win.
