On pace runners, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9. FANCIFUL presents first up after trialing twice on the Beaumont track at her Newcastle home base. She was responsible for a gallant effort in defeat after she endured a tough run first up last preparation at Taree when she tackled this journey and she's ready to fire again first up today. RUBINSKY was produced after an eighteen day break when she overcame a poor getaway to score over this distance last start at Port Macquarie and a similar break today (twenty-four days) is unlikely to create any problems for her when she now makes her Muswellbrook debut. BALLY ISLE must be forgiven for an unplaced Scone effort when she was resuming from a very long spell last start. She had too much to do on the day. LILY BOBTAIL struck traffic problems on the Beaumont track at Newcastle last start and when her beaten margin was misleading. She will be more suitably placed when she returns to her home base today.
