No. 2 Animate

The Kris Lees trained Animate was narrowly denied on debut at Taree and the step up in distance should suit. He has drawn perfectly in barrier two and he seemingly has only one horse to beat in the top weight.

No. 7 Belle De Vega

Belle De Vega from the Kim Waugh stable was ultra impressive when stepping down in distance last start at Muswellbrook. She did get all the favours in running and saved some ground however she hit the line full of running. She has drawn well and will go close.

No. 6 Magnificently

Gerry Harvey and Clarry Connors may have another handy galloper here in the shape of Magnificently. The Swiss Ace filly has had four trials since the 8th of July leading into this first up assignment including a big win over 1200m at Warwick Farm. this looks a nice race for her on debut and she should be tough to beat.

No. 12 Frozen In Time

Frozen In Time from the Kris Lees stable is searching for her second win after she broke through at Muswellbrook two back. She was dead last rounding the turn last start however she showed a good turn of foot to finish second behind the runaway winner. The step up in distance should suit.
