Expecting Tea Or Coffee to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. ARAMBYS (12) trained locally and has had genuine excuses at his last three outings. Snagged back and was never comfortable on the firm going when a disappointing ninth over 1300m at Gunnedah in harder company last start. Well drawn for this and his best form is good enough to take this out. UPWARDLY MOBILE (14) progressive filly resuming after shedding her maiden status by a big space over the 1300m here two back. Fitted with a smart 900m trial win and the winkers go on. Wide draw the slight niggle. GIRRAWHEEN (11) returned well, and a win looks imminent. Charged late from well back when a gritty third over 1200m at Dubbo. Hard fit and expected to play a leading role. TEA OR COFFEE (5) strengthened up over the break and kept fresh for this after having no luck from the wide gate when a tenacious fourth over 1280m at Orange. Fitted with a tick-over trial and will give a ton of cheek from the inside barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 12,14,11,5.
