CASINO SILK (14) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2 lengths over 1m2f at Bathurst when she worked home well. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. CLEVER COOKIE (12) was ridden quietly then made a little ground and finished 7 lengths away in ninth last time out over 7f at Warren three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Solid top-three chance. BANDOLERO (11) last appeared six weeks ago over 1m at Narromine when he finished 11th. This is his first run for the Garry Lunn stable. Comes here with definite top-three claims. BOLD SPLENDOR (9) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6½f at Taree, beaten 4 lengths. Fitter so watch for a better performance.
