HIT SONG (2) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by 0.6 lengths over 7f at Tamworth. Shaping up nicely and he can go on with it. KALAHARI HEART (1) finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 7f at Tamworth, an improvement on her eighth at Armidale the run before. Has the talent to put the recent run of form behind her. CODE OF SILENCE (18) failed to figure again last time over 6½f at Gunnedah, beaten 2 lengths into fifth. Will drift back but wind up late. Among the main hopes. GULF OF GABES (10) finished 3.8 lengths back from the winner last start at Quambone and is down in weight this time. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Must be respected.
