OUTLANDER (2) raced below his best last time when seventh over 1m2f at Kembla Grange, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. CICADA (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when ninth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1m at Nowra. Untried at this journey but strips fitter and looks a clear threat. EMELIA'S MAGIC (10) finished third just seven days ago over 1m at Goulburn. On the quick back-up over more ground. Good effort last start and should feature. FRENCH DELIVERY (8) is yet to break through after 24 starts. Placed in a then last time out was fourth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1m3 1/4f at Newcastle. Has the addition of blinkers. Can sneak into the finish.
