SAGAPONACK (9) is a three-year-old filly who is having her first run for the Jason Deamer barn. Hasn't raced since finishing in the placings at Canberra six months ago. Ran fifth in a trial at Beaumont (Newcastle) over 850m and is in a nice race. Key chance who will go close. BEST DEFENCE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 900m at Wellington, beaten 2.5 lengths into sixth. Finds an easier assignment and can turn things around. KITTY'S PLEDGE (8) returns after six-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1400m at Barraba. Strong winning chance on best figures. RAW GOLD (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at Gunnedah, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to find some form.
