WANAVAN (4) returned last time with a solid second at Muswellbrook over 1000m after being in the firing line on the turn. Has the talent to get the prize. ATOKA (5) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fourth, beaten one length, over this journey at Muswellbrook. Sure to prove tough to stop. RELUCTANT DIVA (8) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw and led until straightening before finishing fifth over 1200m at Tamworth last time out. Another bold showing is expected. NULKABA STAR (1) resumes from a spell of 13 months and is having his first outing under new trainer Jeremy Sylvester. Finished eighth at Newcastle over 1200m at the opening run last time in work. Placed in a recent trial.
