On pace runners, 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10. TICKELOVA was resuming at her Newcastle home base when she performed well above market place expectations. She was also a Saturday acceptor at Hawkesbury but instead, she is very suitably placed here after being saved for this race today. UMBUSI refused to shirk his task on debut here at home last start after he endured a tough run on the day. Natural improvement can now be made from barrier one. SHASORT didn't finish far from UMBUSI when both were on debut here last start and SHASORT IS another who can make natural improvement today. VINTAGE BELL was withdrawn from the Gosford meeting last Thursday and instead he will make his debut, at his home base, this afternoon. After winning his trial here early last month, the claim for Nick Palmer will aid his cause at his first run in a race. BRAVE ARCHIE makes his debut today. He hasn't been seen in public since he won a trial here back in June. His betting fluctuations after he parades should be greatly respected? VAGUELY RED missed out on making his debut at Muswellbrook on Melbourne Cup day when his race was abandoned. He will instead make his debut here and doing so at his home base can only aid his cause!
