On pace runners, 2, 9, 15, 17, 18. PENCILLER presents third up after two home track effort at home (Dubbo). He steps up to tackle this distance today for the first time and 1400m is now likely to suit him. STREET SWAGGER struck traffic problems when his effort was full of merit over 1300m. He's proven within this distance range and the claim for Nick Palmer can aid the cause here. MARIOTA became unsuited in transit from a wide gate at Coonabarabran when his unplaced effort was better than it appear on paper. Drawing barrier one should create less issues for him here. NAVAL OFFICER endured a tough run at Orange before he refused to shirk his task in defeat. A distance switch from 1600m can no be coped with when he presents today after a freshen-up.
