ZOUNILE (4) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on three consecutive occasions, before finishing fourth last time out over 1m at Coonabarabran. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will play a major role. SEA OF FLAMES (1) finished 2.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 7f at Wagga nine days ago. Steps up in journey. Right at home over this distance, with seven wins and seven minor placings from 21 runs and is expected to feature. POSSIBLY SO (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1m at Orange after missing the placings at the previous appearance. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. EKELER (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7¼f at Quirindi, beaten 2.2.5 lengths into fifth. No surprise to see him in the frame.
