CARBROOK (1) is still a maiden after 10 runs. Was one of the favoured runners last time out but after being prominent at the corner didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 5f at Dubbo. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. TINY MISSILE (2) is yet to break through after three career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Barraba two starts back before finishing sixth over 5f at Tamworth last start. Likely to play a major role. READY TO MINGLE (9) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 8 lengths into eighth at her latest appearance over 5f at Tamworth. Expected to feature if at her best. HARSH MISTRESS (4) was never really a threat on debut last start over 7f at Sale, finishing 9 lengths from the winner in eighth. Top-three contender with that run under the belt.
