Expecting Barcoo River to take up the running with Halo Phenomena and Wauchope close at hand. NEWS BOUND (4) worked hard from the sticky gate on resumption when sixth over 1100m at Scone. Desperate for the 1200m today and she gets the right set-up. Hard to hold out. HALO PHENOMENA (3) resumes. Slow away from the inside gate and failed to make an impression when tenth over 1000m at Tamworth. Now in the Cameron Crockett yard and since fitted with a 900m trial placing at Scone. Sharp improver. BARCOO RIVER (10) visors come off and will appreciate the weight drop in this slightly stronger race. Deep into the prep and not without each-way claims. TEARS FOR FEARS (6) slashing return when fourth over 900m at Scone in a solid rating contest. Proven second-up and stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: News Bound can return to winning form.
