KEVIN MCKEEN (1) got well back over 6¼f at Kempsey last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 6 lengths away in eighth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. MISS ARIZONA (18) missed the placings two runs back then was never in contention last start when 4.5 lengths away in eighth over 5f at Kempsey. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CHARLES RENNIE (19) was too good for a maiden field when resuming last start over 5f190yards at Grafton, scoring by one length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Stephen Cummins was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders. THE LUPERCAL (9) was beaten 3 lengths into tenth in a 6f contest at this track last time out. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
