ANDALE can lead from STAR INTRIGUE with BRUTAL LOVE not incapable of crossing into a handy early spot from his wide gate with OAKFIELD BADGER also thereabouts. WESTERN WARRIOR did a top job to score here at home first up and he can only now present race-fitter. ANDALE trialed thirteen days ago here at his Dubbo home base and he is more than ready to replicate his winning first up effort last preparation when the race that he won at Wellington produced strong form. BRUTAL LOVE was too good for all except the winner first up when he tackled 1100m here at home last start. Stepping up slightly in distance can now be regarded as a plus. STAR INTRIGUE is resuming. She finished unplaced first up last preparation at Narromine but there was a genuine excuse on the day! OAKFIELD BADGER has scope to improve third up in his first campaign since a stable change.
