LEASE (1) started at 9/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 4.5 lengths at Wyong over 1m after being in contention on the bend. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. WANDA RIVER (3) started this prep with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 6½f at Moree, beaten 2.5 lengths. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. MAJOR MAKEOVER (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 7f at Tamworth, beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. CHESTERAY (5) finished 4 lengths behind the winner in eighth over 6f87yards at Muswellbrook last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Should be prominent from the outset. Deserves respect on best figures.
