KNOW THYSELF (7) is a distance specialist who is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fifth when fresh from a spell two starts back at Tamworth then improved and scored as favourite over 1400m at Scone two weeks ago, getting home by 2.25 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. GALLANT STAR (1) recorded an all-the-way win last time out by 4 lengths over today's journey at Coonamble. Strong performer at this stage of the prep with two wins and one minor placings from four runs. Has a strong association with Jason Collett who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Sure to play a big role. INTERVARSITY (14) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 0.9 lengths when resuming last time out over 1400m at Tamworth. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is up to the challenge. TRIBECA STAR (3) was safely held when tenth last time out over 1400m at Gold Coast, beat
