WINTER'S PROMISE (13) got off the mark over 7¾f at Murwillumbah last start, scoring by a head. Ben Looker was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Nicely placed to double the win tally. VETOED (11) strode forward early from her wide draw over 7f137yards at Lismore last time, leading for much of the way before fading to finish fifth. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. CLIPPER SHIP (3) was always well out of his ground when 7 lengths from the winner in eighth over 5f130yards at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Coffs Harbour the run before. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to take this out. CREDIT CONTROLLER (12) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when 11th over 7f27yards at this track, beaten 9 lengths. In contention this time.
