MAXANDUS has the required early speed to make full use of drawing the inside gate. He can lead from JASON DARREN. ECHELON won his lead-up trial at his Scone home base and he now presents for the first time first up, for the Cavanough stable. The journey should be ideal when he now makes his Beaumont track debut. MAXANDUS was beaten at very short odds at Tamworth but it should be noted that a significant gear change has now been made (tongue tie on). PICCADERRO looked the part first up at Port Macquarie after gear changes were made and he should have more to offer here today at his home base. WILD SENSATION is also resuming. He trialed twice in town in January and he's more than ready to now tackle this trip first up. DANXIA begins his first campaign since a stable change and he should be treated with respect.
