Looks a keen contest with Our Pappy and Too Hard To Find pressing for the lead with Casino Collection and Coolriver Fergie close at hand. CARMINE (1) is ready to make his return after showing plenty of promise in his debut prep. Hasn't been seen at public trials but Bullock's booking signals stable confidence. Bold showing anticipated. COUSIN CHUCK (5) warmed nicely late when resuming here 18 days ago. Is sure to have come on from that and will appreciate the added trip. Gets a great chance to shed the tag. OUR PAPPY (4) showed good early speed when resuming off a 836-day spell, leading them into the straight before fading into fourth. May need another hitout but is drawn to advantage and gets in light with the 4kg claim. TOO HARD TO FIND (11) improved sharply last time at Lismore when gunned down late after leading. Fitter and should take advantage of another good draw. Claim gets her in well too. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Carmine gets the nod.
