WALTER WARLOCK (5) enjoys a class drop on the last attempt and had been racing well with a string of seconds prior, including in the Regional Championship final here. Looks nicely placed and his strike rate at this circuit and distance is strong. ILLAWONG DANNY (4) hasn't quite been in the same form he was when putting together a string of wins earlier in his campaign but there was merit in his latest effort for third from the back row at Tamworth. Loves this circuit and distance with four wins and two placing from six attempts. MR TEDDY (7) put the writing on the wall with a city placing before coming from this barrier for a last-start win by a neck at Bathurst. Has a win and a placing in two tries at this circuit and distance so could strike again. HEZA PLAYER (2) is up in grade but is aided by a low draw having come from wider in a last-start win by 2.7 metres at Tamworth.
