Sizzling pace from the outset from Western Eagle, Rinnero locking horns ahead of Cumboogle and Powerstone. KEITANY (13) is another ex-Victorian who has 3 starts in NSW last prep earlier in the year for one win. She has the advantage of the pole position for her fresh-up run and will be ready to rumble with a recent trial under her belt. A market watch is advised. WESTERN EAGLE (3) only won his debut by a nose at a Walgett picnic meeting 16 days ago but will be improved by that experience and should measure up in this. Stick with him. HERCULES MORSE (5) was an overdue maiden winner when ending his last prep on a high at Tamworth at the start of the year. He will be a lot stronger this prep and can give this a shake fresh up. CALAMITY FOX (2) has changed stables since last racing and is worthy of consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hercules Morse each way.
