On pace runners, 1, 2, 5, 9, 10, 15. TRIBBIANI looked the part after an almost ten week break on a very heavy Coffs Harbour surface last start with Grady Spokes aboard. Grady has retained the ride today and his claim may prove to be invaluable. MASTER ARTIST was dominant on the heavy surface at Coffs Harbour after he had been kept fresh. He presents fresh again today! OUR SPARKY is a dual acceptor who can appreciate the distance rise on offer if, as second emergency, she gains a start in this race and if her connections choose this race as the preferred target. FRED'S MEMORY led throughout at Grafton and he's now ready to cope with this step up from 1190m. ANDROS was too good for all expect the winner on a heavy Grafton surface last start and he's anything but out of place here.
