SEARCH WARRANT (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1m at Newcastle, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Has the talent to figure prominently. ALFRED (7) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at Tuncurry over 6½f, beaten 2.5 lengths. Among the leading chances with the run under his belt. RUSH FORTYFIVE (4) debuted two-and-a-half weeks ago when he finished fifth over 6¾f at Beaumont (Newcastle), beaten 6 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply. TIKIROO (10) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 5.5 lengths when seventh over 6f at Beaumont (Newcastle). Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
