Manoora and Ring My Bell to take it up. MANOORA (1) dominant Maiden winner first-up at Dubbo, then sat on the strong tempo with a tenacious on-pace third over 1000m at this track. Fitter now and finds an easier contest today. BELLERATA (3) big drop in grade when she finally got the job done at start six for a comfortable Maiden victory over 1000m at Gunnedah first-up. Fitter now and capable of going back-to-back. BEYOND THE SKY (2) covered a ton of ground in the run with a tiring ninth over 1200m at Scone from the outside gate. Key jockey change and best figures measure up nicely. ARCHAIC FORCE (4) even return first-up with the 58.5kg to finish fourth over 900m at Coonabarabran in C3 grade. Looking for the extra trip in this weaker contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Manoora should prove too slick for this lot.
