ESPERANZA (1) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 16 metres into sixth at Newcastle over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this more favourable starting position. Primary contender if anywhere near her best. TRY CATCHING ME (2) finished third last start over 1760m at Narrabri, beaten 6 metres. That was an improvement on the unplaced effort at Narrabri the run before. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. SPOOKY ART (5) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. CHARJO (8) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fifth at Newcastle over 1609m.

Last start 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at Newcastle was leading by 0.13 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Line Of Courage (1:59.20) in NR up to 45 on April 24 at $23.

Draws the inside so worth another chance.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Cinnamon at Narrabri over 1760m in a 0-1 WIN on April 5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Cinnamon at Narrabri over 1760m in a No NR on April 12 at $51. Should be in the finish again.
