MR TABASCO (2) got a mile out of his ground last start and failed to make an impression over 6¼f at Taree.Finished just 0.3 lengths from the winner in a comparable race to this three starts back carrying 2.2lb more - a repeat of that effort puts him right in the finish.BABAYKA (5) worked hard to travel in the leading pair before tiring late and finishing fourth last time out over 5f190yards at Grafton.Draws a better gate today and is sure to take plenty of catching.LOCKUP THE KITTENS (11) was beaten less than a length when resuming over 5f at Grafton a fortnight ago.Twice a winner from three runs and loves this trip so he can improve sharply.IMPRINTED (1) has been very good at both runs this prep.Unbeaten at Coffs so leave him out at your peril.LA BOQUERIA (4) was a little disappointing resumed at Kempsey but can improve stepping up in trip.
