DRACO'S FIRE (1) finished just 0.6 lengths from the winner in third last start over 7f at Scone after racing handy. Nicely placed to find winning ways. NAAHRO (3) resumes from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1m at Tamworth. Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at Scone over 7f. Should be forward enough following two recent trials. Bold showing expected. BLING EMPIRE (8) started at 11/4 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 6 lengths at Wyong over 1m after being in contention on the bend. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. POWER OF HOPE (4) resumes from a lay-off of six months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1m at Coffs Harbour. Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
