AAP

Arrowfield 4yo straight into the black book after a terrific debut this course and pay to follow.

ILB

Solid win by 2 3/4L last time around here and having second race start. Added confidence jockey with Heavelon Van Der Hoven doing the steering. Solid claims.

Came out on top at the first time of asking by just under 3l running here over 6½f at 1-7 15 days ago; strong contender.

RSIS

Bold effort to win by 2 3/4L last time at the track and was a debutant last start. Gains the services of jockey Heavelon Van Der Hoven. Expecting a solid performance.

AAP

Honest performance without menacing winner at Scone first run back. Better for the outing. Has some claims.

ILB

Kept running on late when 2nd beaten by 2L last start at Scone. Likely to be well placed early. Strong winning hope.

Has won previously at this course; has been consistent of late; on the premises when runner-up of six over 6½f at Scone (handicap) last month.

RSIS

Ran home into 2nd beaten by 2L last start at Scone. Has plenty of early pace. Has every chance.

AAP

Great run at Dubbo 2 Oct. Prominent and stuck to his guns this track over this journey. Right in the mix again.

ILB

Tidy effort when 3rd last time around here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Expected to be flashing home. Been in the placegetters each start this campaign. Definite claims.

Finished ahead of two of these rivals when well held third last month; likely to go well.

RSIS

Placed 3rd last time at the track and good career start. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts lately. Should be swooping on the field late. Chance and can measure up.

Port Macquarie Hcp (C1) placegetter 9 Oct. Didn't finish it off over 1200m Country Boosted (Bm58) at Beaumont. Good gate and under less weight. Can forgive latest.

ILB

On a short back up. Started at $4.00 and weakened to finish 10th last run at Newcastle but gets a favourable draw. In a purple patch of form this campaign.

RSIS

Backing up quickly for this race. Was 3/1 and lost ground in the run home when 10th last run at Newcastle but has a positive stall.

AAP

Courageous effort in the Hcp (C1) at Mudgee. Rise to 1450m a new challenge. Well into preparation now, capable of making an impact.

ILB

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at Mudgee and drawn beautifully. Marginal contender.

Ran well to finish second (beaten just over 1l) over 6f at Mudgee (handicap) last month; sole victory becoming a distant memory; steps into the unknown over new trip and others more persuasive.

RSIS

Nice run when 2nd last time at Mudgee and drawn well.

Ran on okay without troubling at Port Macquarie. Looks suitably placed in this line-up.

Backs up quickly. Game effort to win narrowly by 1/2L last start around here.

Backs up quickly. Secured a close victory last time at the track.

AAP

Never a threat after showing no early speed from the barriers this course over today's trip. Form doesn't inspire.

ILB

Was nothing special when 8th last time at the track. Not dismissing.

Found life tough when 9l back in eighth last month upped to this trip; slumped a bit since winning a maiden at Orange last November; meeting some horses in good form and unlikely to trouble the principals.

RSIS

Below par when 8th last run here.

AAP

Prominent but just felt the pinch over concluding stages at Scone. On pacer. Leaning towards others here.

ILB

Started $101.00 and didn't find the line when 4th last time at Scone. Should be going forward early. Has struggled so far this campaign. Can't have today.

Generally modest form since handicap success at Scone last December; not far behind Magurtz when fourth over 6½f at Scone (handicap) last month; this is competitive and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

RSIS

At 100/1 didn't threaten when 4th last time at Scone. Has shown early pace in races to date. Struggling lately.

Failed to threaten at Coonabarabran at double-figure odds. Backmarker who doesn't win out of turn. Remains unplaced from 5 starts here. Needs a form spike.

ILB

Was $26.00 and mediocre performance when 9th last run at Coonabarabran. Can't have on what it has been showing.

Ninth of 12 (Coonabarabran) last month; facing a testing assignment and not one to rely on.

RSIS

Started 25/1 and was ordinary when 9th last start at Coonabarabran.

Responded strongly to score in small field at Inverell. This will test her mettle.

ILB

Scored a victory by 1 1/4L last run at Inverell and will try to take advantage of the draw. Large claim helps. Long shot.

Has displayed improved form on last two starts; lost her maiden tag in a maiden at Inverell when a just over 1l winner two weeks ago; capable of making an impact; also engaged in race 4 at Tamworth.

RSIS

Strong performance to win by 1 1/4L last time at Inverell and will try to take advantage of the stall. Anna Weatherlake provides some weight relief.

Odds correct as at Tue 3 Nov, 1:50 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
