TALLAWAH (14) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 2.75 lengths when fifth over 6½f at Dubbo two weeks ago. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. FEIRME PRINCE (5) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by 1.5 lengths over 7f at Scone. Clayton Gallagher who has three wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts him right in this. EARL OF BANTRY (9) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by a long neck over 6½f at Narromine. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. BIG SHORT (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on September 16 when beaten 5 lengths into tenth at Tamworth over 6f after he was well back on straightening. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
