AIN'T NOBODY (1) has been in the betting recently but hasn't managed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fourth over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Has ability and deserves another chance. DAWN PARTY (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.4 lengths away in second over 1m2 1/2f at Lismore. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish. SMELTER (9) was thereabouts last time out when fourth over 1m1 1/2f at Gold Coast Poly after he was up on the pace all the way. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Likely to play a major role. HOW YA BEEN ANYWAY (5) is a 17-start maiden who has been in the money five times, Could only manage fifth last time out over 1m1 1/2f at Gold Coast Poly. Has a sound record here with two top-three finishes from three starts. Must be respected.
