ROCK THE MACHINE (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2 lengths when sixth in a 7¼f contest at Kempsey two weeks ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. COOL MACHINE (7) lifted strongly only to just miss last start over 7f at this track. Has race fitness on her side now. Hard to beat in this suitable race. THE RIDDLER (4) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished one length away in fifth last time out over 7f at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. PATRIOTICINTENTION (3) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 6 lengths from the winner in fifth at Murwillumbah over 5½f. Don't underestimate.
