Winnable race. LOCHINVAR GRACE (7) Solid win last run at this track and will be well suited at the distance. Will be positive in the run early. Has been a model of consistency this campaign. Has the ability to take this out. AVA'S MILO (6) Handy enough when winning last start at Gunnedah. Has shown early pace in races to date. Jamie Bush kennel are on a hot streak. Will be there at the finish. SAIL AWAY SAM (4) In the money when 2nd last time at this venue. Performing impressively since returning from a spell. Can get the job done.

Was $7.00 and fairly underwhelming when 6th last time around here. Racing consistently this campaign. Can go through the gears. Seems very unlikely.

Chimed in with a win last start at Gunnedah. Should be going forward early. Jamie Bush has been training plenty of winners recently. Good prospects.

Backs up quickly. Jumped at $2.60 and ran 4th last run at Taree but returns to an increased distance. Always seems to find the line well. Drawn nicely. Looking elsewhere.
