Blackfish should find the front with American Anthem and Down The Kooka on her heels. SAINTLY SANDS (8) looks ready to win after two excellent runs back at Tamworth including a close second there two weeks ago. Step to the mile is ideal and drawn well so should take plenty of beating. JUST ON FIRE (5) started favourite in a similar sort of race at Dubbo two weeks ago and was a little disappointing when finishing midfield. Previous efforts entitle him to another chance. CASTRO (10) is very interesting second-up. Always back last time after being slow away but can be much sharper for that hit out and from a better position in running he can get involved. DOWN THE KOOKA (2) and A BOY NAMED SOO (1) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Saintly Sands to win.
