TORN (10) is a maiden galloper who hasn't raced since finishing 5.5 lengths back in fourth over 5f190yards at Grafton four months ago. Sharpened for this with a placing in a recent trial. Sure to go well. WILD FLASH (7) is back after a break of five months. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 7f at Randwick Kensington. Ran fourth in a recent trial at Scone. Bold showing expected. KING CARLOS (5) settled back but wound up late to finish fifth when resuming last start over 5f at Muswellbrook. Among the leading chances. WILLIAM'S SMILE (8) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 4 lengths, after being in contention on the corner at his latest appearance over 5½f at this track. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
