Hope And Glory, Chookster and Quick Onyx to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. MAYBE MAUREEN (7) resumed off a Forbes Maiden win with a near miss at Moruya. She presents fitter and JVO goes aboard replacing Cahill. The longer sprint should suit and she can go back-to-back. RAILWAY AVENUE (8) spiked his figures winning at Cowra this grade. Cahill stays aboard keeping it a family affair. Just has to hold the form to be a chance. COMMANDO JACK (2) resumes well supported in a CL2 at Orange but looked a run short. He is proven second-up and jumps from the inside gate. Gallagher stays in the saddle and will give him every chance. CHICO CASINO (9) found a place at Orange on debut and can build on that. Draws wide but Heywood is booked offsetting the disadvantage to an extent. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Maybe Maureen.
