Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 27)   +3m 800 - 400, True remainder  

Our Boy Ollie is the likely leader at a keen tempo. STING JET (5) has been about the mark in his two runs this campaign in tougher races. Raced a bit closer than usual last start over this course and distance in a BM82 and couldn't finish off. Nicely placed and is a winning hope if ridden a bit colder. WHO GOES THERE (8) returned from a nine-month spell with an emphatic all-the-way win over 1000m at Tamworth six weeks ago. Lightly raced five-year-old building a nice record but needs to be treated with kid gloves. Hard to toss again. LOUNERSE (12) recorded a dogged win over 1206m at Port Macquarie recently when fresh from a 31-week lay-off. Goes well second-up so she should hold that form although the wide gate is an issue. CODE IN TIME (6) is back from a 21-week break. Recent trial winner who goes well first-up so keep him in mind. GOLD LOVER (14) is down in grade and open to improvement second-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sting Jet is ready to win.
