Taipan Legend and Mellencamp to take up the running at a strong tempo. GREAT POINT (2) strong mare who went under narrowly from the wide draw when a game head second over 1600m at this track. Will relish the 3kg claim again and go one better here. TAIPAN LEGEND (7) got off the mark at Dubbo two runs back. Anchored with the 59.5kg when a tough on-pace fourth over 1600m here on January 30. Trained locally and sure to be around the money again. NEED A MIRACLE (3) hard fit for this and edging towards a victory. Up in trip when a fighting second over 1700m at Walcha. That is good enough for this. TA SET NEFERU (6) set to peak at her fourth run back after warming up late when fourth over 1500m at Muswellbrook. Comes out of a strong race and must be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Great Point to win.
