NEWS BOUND (7) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 6f at Tamworth eight months ago and has not appeared since. Has since been kept ticking over with a Tamworth trial placing. Sure to improve and can make it back-to-back wins. CHICO CASINO (13) finished 8 lengths adrift in ninth last time at Dubbo in a disappointing performance. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ISHAMASHI (14) is racing well without being able to break through, the latest effort a third over 7f at Forbes five weeks ago. In-form four-year-old mare so she is among the leading chances. SANZENO (4) was well fancied but below best latest, finishing tenth at Dubbo but has a new rider this time. Rates well on previous form and worth another chance.
