GOODNIGHT BARLOW (7) built on a nice third two starts back at Bathurst with a win as public elect over 1m at Sapphire Coast two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Meeting a tougher field but on current form he is capable of testing his rivals. DEVINE OUTCAST (5) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when 11th over 7f at Kembla Grange. Has further improvement to come and is among the leading chances. ILOVENEWS (1) ran a bold race over this journey last time, leading for much of the way before fading out of it late to finish 4 lengths away in fourth at Gosford. Jeff Penza has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Should be involved in the finish. EXTRAVAGANT CHOICE (4) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1m1/2f at Cowra after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
