LUCILAGO (7) scored a barnstorming win last start over 6f at Nowra, coming from the tail to get up by a head. Comes here in the right frame of mind so another big run is anticipated. SIR MAURICE (4) did little and finished 13 lengths from the winner in sixth over 7½f at Goulburn last start after being in the firing line on the corner, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Canberra the run before. Nicely placed to get the prize. MRS BULL (9) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Dubbo, finishing third and only 0.8 lengths from the winner at the end of 6½f. Nicely placed to take this out. LANWAR (5) was too good for a maiden field last start over 7f at Bathurst, scoring by a neck. Jaden Lloyd was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Harder this time but still one to consider.
