BRUTAL LOVE (4) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a head, over 5½f at this track when fresh from a lay-off. Has found the frame at all five visits to this track, including a win. Should run well. With added fitness. OAKFIELD BADGER (1) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at Tamworth over 6f, beaten 0. 9 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Top chance. STAFFA (5) did her best work late and finished 1. 5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 5½f at this track, an improvement on her eighth at Tamworth the run before. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. TURGENEV (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Gilgandra, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
