AUXILIARY (1) showed good early speed and led into the straight before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2. 25 lengths, over 6½f at Darwin. Winning rider Lek Maloney sticks. Sure to play a big role. JUICE BOX (4) finished 3. 1 lengths back from the winner last start at Darwin and is down in weight this time. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. CHIEF WHITE SOCK (5) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Alice Springs two starts back then landed the prize by 5 lengths as public elect last time out over 5½f at Alice Springs. Danielle Hirini scored on him last time and retains the mount. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. LUNA FIELD (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Darwin over 5f. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
