RIPP (10) will find this easier than his good fourth in the Shirley Turnbull Memorial last start, continuing his consistent form that includes a couple of recent Menangle placings. That form reads well for this and he has won four of seven attempts at this circuit. HELLUVA (9) was pulled out of the Goulburn Cup with a flat tyre last start but had some good form earlier in the campaign, recording a win and a close second at Menangle in November. Draws for a trail and could be dangerous. Hard to knock the form of FASHION ICON (6) who came from wide on the back row to take out the Stayers Cup at Dubbo last start, giving him three wins and a placing in four starts this time in. He strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance. SHEZ SWEET LOUISE (1) added to her consistent form when third from the back row in the Parkes Cup last time. Has a strong record here and the ace draw could see her competitive.
