IRISH GIFT (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 7f at this track after being prominent from the outset. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ODETTE'S ORCHIDS (11) was always well out of her ground when 10 lengths from the winner in eighth over 5f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her when resuming fourth at Murwillumbah the run before. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. COOL MACHINE (7) finished 2 lengths away in fifth last time out over 5f at Grafton when when resuming from a lay-off. Steps up in distance. Can play a big role. DIAMONDSAREMIO (8) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6¼f at Kempsey, beaten 2 lengths. This looks a good race for her so another forward showing looks likely.
