ABSOLUTE WEAPON (1) has been good in placing in both starts this time in, coming from the back row for third when resuming before missing by just a nose here last time. Both career wins have come at this distance. Should be hitting peak fitness third-up and the ace draw can see her go one better. LAYLA SHANNON (4) drew one spot wider than this and worked to the front when scoring easily at this circuit and distance two back. Since then led over further and stuck on for fourth. Could return to the winner's list. KING BOBBIE (7) draws wide but is racing well having placed in two of three starts since a Dubbo win, clocking in second at this circuit and distance last week. RIVIERE (3) draws better than when she resumed in a higher-graded race. Expect improvement.
