RACE 7
YALLAH DELTA (George Micallef): Outclassed when 8 1/4 lens 2nd in 30.19 here Jan 24. Better drawn now and has won here in 30.33. Should not be far away at any stage.
CRUISER BALE (Simon Rhodes): Reliable beginner which led for a long way but swamped late when 4 1/4 lens 4th in 26.86 at Bulli Jan 23. New here and yet to be tested beyond 472m. Each way.

APACHE WILD FIRE (Ricky Bourke): Landed successive wins over 600m at Gosford in May then off the scene until Jan 19 when 16 lens last of 4 in 30.95 WP S/Trial Jan 19. Talented but into veteran class and the betting will be the best guide.
LADY HAMILTON (Lavinia Gale): Had box 6 when battling 3 1/2 lens 2nd in 30.61 here Jan 24. Can show a turn of speed but preferred in something a little easier.
CAMEO GOLD (Barry Burnet): Not managed a place in 4 starts here, each at this trip. Cannot recommend.
RACE 8
SUEWENDY WONG (Robert Arnold): Old stager who was placed yet safely held in similar class here Jan 10, 17 before 1 3/4 lens 3rd in 30.30 at Nowra Jan 23. Reliable beginner yet minor claims are best again.
