RATHORAN (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Muswellbrook, finishing third and only 1.2 lengths from the winner at the end of 1280m. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. SEARCH WARRANT (2) recorded his first win last start over 1600m at Wyong, getting home by a neck. Looms as one of the hardest to beat again. FOX REIGN (4) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1412m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Won't find this as tough so he is set to turn things around. QUINKY DEEL (1) was beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth at the second run back from a break in a 1280m contest at Muswellbrook last time out. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
