Other rules:Only final field runners subject to deductions
Selections: 4-5-9-1
On pace runners, 1, 3, 8, 13, 14. MARINERA did all but win when she tackled this journey at Bathurst with Clayton Gallagher aboard and she can make her presence felt when she returns to her home base today with Clayton retaining the ride. MY BOY SCOUT can be forgiven for a defeat at short odds last start at Bathurst. He will still have scope to improve over the same journey here at home at his third start since a stable change. TAMPA BAY is another Dubbo trained mare who has the form behind her to be treated with respect this afternoon. PENCILLER must be forgiven for an unplaced effort here at home last start when there were excuses.
