DAYTONA DEMON (1) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when second over 7f at Mudgee. Should settle on the speed despite the draw. Bold showing expected again. GLORIEN (8) is yet to break through in 10 runs. Finished fourth at her last appearance over 6½f at Moree on April 2. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. SMOKEHOUSE BROWN (6) gave a sight here last time, leading until claimed in the straight and finishing seventh, beaten 6 lengths, over 6½f. Blinkers come off. Expected to be competitive. LADY OF THE HUNTER (9) made progress last time out, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner in third over 7f at Moree. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
