RODEO DEALER (6) is returning from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Finished 11th at Taree over 5f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Peter Kirby. Expected to feature on best form. ARGYLE LAIRD (1) drifted back then made late ground to finish fourth when when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at Orange. Can go on with it. SPUNKY REWARD (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 5½f at Dubbo, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. SUPREME HONOURS (7) was in the money two starts back at Cooma but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh, beaten 9 lengths, at Gundagai over 5f. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
