ALPINE ROSE, JUST ON FIRE, CHARLOTTING and FERRARI MAN may dispute the early lead with ZELESTIAL gaining a most suitable run un transit. SHUTTER was dominant in this class and over this journey second up at her Scone home base and she should have more to offer when she now makes her Dubbo debut. ZELESTIAL was beaten at short odds here third up but there was merit in her performance over this distance and the claim for Jacob Stiff will aid her cause today. ALPINE ROSE has been in work for some time but she gave no indication at Parkes last start that she might be now in need of a spell. GHAZNAVI is a Scone based five-year-old who makes a Dubbo debut today. He easily beat home a next start Muswellbrook winner when he was produced at home base last start over this distance and this race is now within his reach, making a Dubbo debut.
