POWERFUL EAGLE (2) built on a nice third two starts back at Ipswich with a win as favourite over 7f at Stanthorpe two weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to figure in the finish. GUNMETAL (5) didn't do a bad job after being in the firing line on the turn to finish 2 lengths away in sixth last start over 6½f at Armidale. That followed a when resuming win at Barraba. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. SUIT DAY (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when eighth over 1m1/4f at Grafton a week-and-a-half ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. DA NOIVE (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 7f at Coonabarabran. Likely to be about the mark again.
