JOLLY GOOD FELLOW, DEEPWATER ARTIST, UNREAL EXPECTATION and NOISES are likely frontrunners. JOLLY GOOD FELLOW finished unplaced after a forty-three day break at Mudgee. He now returns to his home base after a quicker back up and with numerous gear changes made. He is much more suitably placed here on his home track today. BLOW IN did a good job to finish as close to the winner as he did when he tackled this distance at home (Canberra) last start. Gear changes have now been made and he can play a prominent part in the finish again today. UNREAL EXPECTATION resumes here, aided by the claim for Jacob Stiff and unlike some, he can cope over this testing distance first up. HAMMETT resumes after a stable change and without a lead-up trial. He's in very astute hands. Be guided by market moves for him after he parades? A BOY NAMED SOO is in career best and he can be expected to maintain his consistency here at Bathurst where he is proven over this journey. DEEPWATER ARTIST needs to overcome the widest gate however, he can be expected to appreciate an awaiting drop in class today!
