WHISPERING MURIEL CURRUMBIN ALLEY, UNDER THE COLLAR and KAWATRIRI are likely frontrunners. BONOYSTER was honest when he was presented after a seven day break at Scone last start. He makes his Quirindi debut today over this same distance and this race, in the same class, is within his reach. CURRUMBIN ALLEY trialed six days ago at Muswellbrook and he should not be harshly judged for an unplaced effort on that track when he was last produced, fifty-one days ago. He can make a mockery of his latest outing here, aided by the claim for Nick Palmer. KAWATIRI has been in work for some time but she gave no indication at Wellington last start, that she might be looking for the spelling paddock. IMPERIAL STATE resumes after a long spell and after a stable change. He will do so without a lead-up trial and market moves for him after he parades are likely to offer the best guide to his prospects here first up?
