Dual acceptor. At debut, ran second last in a small field in a Mdn-Sw at Wauchope on October 17 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 1.0 len behind Bring It On Sal carrying 59kg at $5.50. Harder this time but gets the blinkers on and has some upside.

Resuming after a seven months break. Finished off last preparation fourth in a small field at Grafton Super Mdn-Sw April 19 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Lofty Macsporran carrying 58.5kg at $3. On debut third of 9 at this track Cge Mdn-Sw March 16 over 1206m, 0.8 len behind Rockbarton Spear with 58.5kg at $13. Has a wide gate to deal with but if things go right he is a big chance.

Most recently 4th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Warrnambool on October 15 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Twister carrying 57.5kg at $13. The start before that did the work up front then tired 6th of 8 in a Mdn-Sw at Pakenham Synthetic on October 2 over 1200m, 7 len behind Ektifire with 57.5kg at $15. Has ability - keep an eye on the betting.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Captivant out of Dynastic Lady. At the most recent trial finished fourth at Coffs Harbour over 800m. Likely to need this run.

Resuming after a break; only one run when came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Muswellbrook on August 9 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Mr Cornstar with 56.5kg at $21. Draws the fence and with natural improvement this prep can open with a win.

At the latest run tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 3rd of 10 in a Cl1 at this track on October 25 over 1000m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Zosma with 55kg at $13. Before that 8th of 14 in a Super Mdn-Sw at this track on October 9 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Letterman carrying 57kg at $11. Near miss last start. Won't be far away with a repeat of that latest performance.

Gelding by Sandbar making his first race start. Recent trial form has been pretty solid. Won trial at Gosford over 1000m on October 28. Nicely drawn and is worth including.

Gelding by Sandbar on debut. Runner-up in a Gosford trial over 1000m on October 28. Any market confidence should be respected.

Dual acceptor. First starter by Danerich out of Held Together. Third October 12 at Beaumont (Newcastle) at her only trial. Any positive move in betting must be respected.

Four-year-old mare (Tassort - Eminence) has trialled on four occasions leading into today's race. Was third in a Muswellbrook trial over 1000m on October 21. Won't find this an easy assignment.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when ran second last in a small field in a 2&3yo Mdn-Sw at Wyong on April 4 over 1000m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Dingle Grey with 56.5kg at $15. Prefer to see again.

First starter by Snitzel - Shaik. Has run a couple of ordinary trials prior to her debut today. Looks tested in this line-up.

Raced twice to date. At very big odds at debut, 4th of 9 in a Super Mdn-Sw at Newcastle on October 17 over 900m, slow going 2.75 len behind Lady Talea with 55kg at $81. Last start ran last of 10 in a Mid Mdn at Wyong on October 29 over 1000m, 11 len behind Too Delicious with 55kg at $101. Needs to lift to figure in the finish.

Second-up. Promising on debut tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 14 in a 2&3yo Mdn at Scone on May 15 over 1100m, 3 len behind Cormier carrying 55kg at $6.50. Returned from break 6th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Scone on October 23 over 1000m, 4 len behind The Wildling carrying 55kg at $4.40. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

Dual acceptor. First-up. Finished off last preparation fifth of 8 at Taree Mdn March 10 over 1250m, soft track; 5 len behind O'britzelle with 57kg at $3.90. First up last campaign second last in a small field at Wyong Prov 4yo+ Mdn-Sw February 21 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind The Netball Queen with 57kg at $6.50. Finds an easier assignment to launch this campaign.

At the latest run faded in the straight 5th of 11 in a Mdn at Beaumont (Newcastle) on October 26 over 1350m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Stunning Future with 55kg at $20. Before that led to the turn then faded 5th of 14 in a Super Mdn-Sw at this track on October 9 over 1200m, slow going 2.5 len behind Letterman with 59kg at $41. One for the wider exotics.
