CORMAC T (8) winning rider hops back aboard after ending up six wide from a low draw and disappointing when tenth over 2000m at this track. Likely to push forward from the gate and hold a position. Handles rain affected going and expected to bounce back. GOOD BANTER (15) has needed the three runs to bring her to her top and since fitted with a 1100m tick over trial. Both her wins have come on heavy tracks and proven at the distance. GENTILESCHI (14) Scone-trained mare with her hoof on the till fifth up. Stalked the tempo but failed to match it with She's Unusual over the final 200m when second at Randwick over 1800m. Ready for this trip now, and a repeat effort will see her go close. ASSAILANT (17) imported gelding kept fresh for this at his third Australian start. Stays in the mix.
