VAQUERO (12) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into eighth. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. FIELD AGENT (8) finished fifth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 7f at Cooma. Steps up a level but he is capable of another big run. FAR TOO HOT (9) was safely held when eighth last start over 6f at Queanbeyan, beaten 8 lengths. That followed a good when resuming win at Canberra. Has the talent to take care of this field. STARANE (2) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage ninth over 5f at Dubbo. Top-three prospects.
