LENNETH (6) has been freshened since he was midfield from the back row as favourite last start at Maitland but has been kept up to the mark with a trial since. Had won three in a row prior and is unbeaten at this circuit and distance so can bounce back. ALWAYS THUNDER (7) returned to winning form last time out, scoring by 11 metres at Newcastle. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run from the inside of the back row and goes very well at this circuit and distance with three wins and a placing from four attempts. GIMME A REASON (5) has been solid in two outings since winning the last time he raced here last month. GIVE ME A MINUTE NZ (8) draws on the back row but has been ticking along well, finishing fourth at Menangle last Saturday to follow a Newcastle placing.

Improved last start with a broke in score up and was out of position at the start good run when 3rd (Sr1) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 3rd-3.58 beaten 4 m by Shark Dancer (2:05.10) in NR up to 48 on January 8 at $4.40. Nicely drawn and can play a role.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr1) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 8 m by Precise (1:52.20) in NR up to 70 M on January 10 at $34.
