TOYGER (17) is yet to break through but has been in the money eight times including last start when third over 4f at Coffs Harbour. Has a solid record at this journey, finishing in the money on seven occasions. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Leading contender. AGED CARE (1) resumes from a lay-off of five months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 5½f at Scone. Tuned up with a fourth in a recent trial at Newcastle. Good chance to break through. BETHSHEBA (7) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth after being prominent at the corner at her latest appearance over 4½f at Newcastle. Worth including in this suitable contest. DEVOTED DEPUTY (18) finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5f at Kempsey, beaten a nose. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
