DANCES WITH HOOVES (10) improved sharply on her fourth two starts back at this track with success over 1m at Tamworth three weeks ago, getting home by 5 lengths. Likely to be there at the finish again. AUSSIE PHAROAH (12) strode forward early from his wide draw over 7½f at Muswellbrook last time before fading to finish eighth. Expected to measure up here. Worth another try. RUFUS WINRIGHT (9) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1m2 1/2f at Orange. Matthew Cahill scored on him last time and retains the ride. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BLUE GUITAR (8) was beaten 1.75 lengths into sixth over 1m at Orange a week ago. Well placed to turn things around.
