SIPPITY SIP (3) finished third two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.4 lengths over 5½f at this track. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to score again. GUNMETAL (1) scored an impressive win by 4.5 lengths when resuming from a lay-off last time out over 6f at Barraba. Open to plenty of improvement and this looks well within his grasp. RETHINK IT (7) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 7f at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Meets some better types this time but she has the talent to test this line-up. LOCKDOWN LAD (2) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish sixth over 5f at Dubbo. Outdashed but got home well and looks suited by the extra ground. Worth including.
