ANTISOCIAL (7) met with solid support last start over 5f at Gunnedah when third, beaten 2.5 lengths. Has a win and four minor placings at this journey from six starts and should prove tough to beat. TOP ACT (10) is having her first run since winning by a long neck two months ago over 7f at Ballina. Has transferred to the Jacob Perrett stable over the break. One of the better hopes. THE LUPERCAL (3) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when second over 5½f at Armidale when he was handy all the way. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ALBANJO (1) returns from a layoff of eight months. Scored over 6f at Moree to launch the last campaign. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
