Verdict

MISS DEFY (10) scored an impressive win over 2000m at Canberra two runs ago. Stepped back in trip and was less effective last time when down the track at Wagga. Back in her right race today so expect a return to form. SPENZALOT (5) tackled a middle-distance trip for the first time last start and did a fine job to finish second over 2100m at the Beaumont track, making up many lengths only to miss in a photo. Just needs to hold that form to play a major role in this easier race. The consistent FULMEN FILOU (4) raced handy then battled on well for second at Armidale recently in a BM58 over 1900m. Might need some luck from the wide gate but he is a genuine gelding who is sure to give a good account. AKAUWHEO (7) led for the judge but was swamped in the straight over 1800m at Gilgandra last time. Down in class and a bit less pressure over today's journey will help. EJECT (9) found the line well at Armidale last start and the extra trip today looks a plus.

Recent form sound. Last start 2nd of 12 at Beaumont (Newcastle) Cl1-Sw on December 26 over 2100m, nose behind Powerful Prayer with 59kg at $15. The start before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Scone Bm58 on December 11 over 1700m, 2 len behind Gold Capital carrying 58.5kg at $1.80. Big chance with a repeat of the latest effort.

The race before that came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Canberra Cl1-Sw December 12 over 2000m on a soft track defeating Bo Cougar with 58kg at $8.

Last start did the work up front then tired 7th of 10 at Gilgandra Cl3 on January 4 over 1800m, 9 len behind Instead carrying 54kg at $4.80. The race before that won by 2.25 len at Quirindi Bm58 December 26 over 2000m defeating Cheeky Secrets carrying 56kg at $2.20. Others read better. Better than that and can bounce back.
