WORX (1) is closing in on a win, last time out finishing third over 6½f at Kembla Grange when just 0.6 lengths from the winner. Overdue and gets his chance. EDMOND (3) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when sixth over 7¾f at Canterbury four weeks ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. LET'S GO BRO (6) raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 4 lengths, over 6½f at Hawkesbury. Likely to feature. POCKET EIGHTS (13) was too good for a maiden field last start over 6¼f at Kempsey, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. One of the likely contenders despite the step up in grade.
