PATTERA (1) was lining up for just the second time last start when eighth over 5½f at Narromine, beaten 7 lengths. Has good early pace. Looks the one to beat on his debut performance. ERION (3) is yet to break through after four career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Gundagai two starts back before finishing 11th over 5f21yards at Dubbo last time. Among the leading chances. DERVINIA (5) returns after six months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 6f at Parkes. One of the leading chances. BUY ME A BIRKIN (6) finished second last start over 5f at Wean, beaten 1.75 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders.
