DAMIEN (8) finished second, beaten a head, over 1200m at Wyong on debut three months ago and has been kept under wraps since. Sure to have improved over the break and can return in winning form. SHERIFF'S STAR (6) finished second last time out over 1280m at Muswellbrook, making it four career minor placings. Has a solid record at this journey, finishing in the money on two occasions. Tackling tougher opposition but is among the leading chances. BABYFACED ASSASSIN (2) ran below expectations last time at Canberra, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths starting at $5.50. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. KUNDABUNG (3) has not raced since his debut back on May 22 when he finished sixth over 1100m at Warwick Farm. Top-three chance with that run under his belt.
