NEEDAWINNA (8) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so she will prove hard to beat. BACK ON DE QUO (1) last appeared when fourth over 6½f at Lismore five months ago. Should be hard to stop. BARRON (2) is yet to break through in 24 runs. Finished seventh at his last appearance over 6¼f at this track on December 10 after he got a long way back in the run. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. HUMPHREE BEAR (4) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 5f at Coffs Harbour. Likely improver worth including.
