NORTHERN EAGLE (4) is a three-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 1.2 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6¾f at Wyong. Fitter for that outing and is a great chance to break his maiden status. SON OF RUBICK (1) started at big odds on debut last start but ran a bold race, finishing second and beaten 0.7 lengths over 6f at this track. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. LONHANOVA (8) is a nine-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent appearance over 7½f at Kembla Grange. Worth including in this suitable contest. CATHEDRAL COVE (5) finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6f at Nowra, beaten 1.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run.
