TAKING THE MIKKI (7) has been freshened since finishing 6 lengths away in ninth over 6f67yards at Taree. Sound record at this distance with two wins and six minor placings from 12 runs and should be in the finish. I AM SUGOI (3) was in contention on the turn and progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 6f87yards at Muswellbrook after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TELEGRAPH (5) finished 3.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 5f at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Right in this. LOUNERSE (4) returns after a lay-off of seven months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 6f at Newcastle. Makes plenty of appeal.
