NO TACKLE (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 6½f at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. EXECUTIVE DECISION (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on October 27 finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 5f at Port Macquarie. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. TOY STORY (1) last appeared when fourth over 6f at Port Macquarie three months ago. One to consider. WELCOME BACK (8) was safely held when eighth last time out over 6½f at Coffs Harbour, beaten 9 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
