KEITANY (3) has returned in good order this campaign. Opened with a second at Gunnedah two starts back then landed the prize by 2.5 lengths as public elect last time out over 5f at Tamworth. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. BENYATTA (4) scored two runs back then was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish seventh over 5f at Wean. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she cannot be ruled out. ROYALZ (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she settled well back over 6f at Tamworth, beaten 7 lengths into eighth. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. THE AFFIRMATIVE (6) finished third last start over 5f at Gunnedah, beaten 1.1 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Suitably placed so anticipating another forward showing.
