TROUNCE (3) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 0. 8 lengths, over 6½f at Taree. Andrew Gibbons sticks. Should be hard to stop. HIGHLY TEMPTED (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 6½f at Taree, beaten 1. 3 lengths into fourth. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CALL ME BASIL (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Tuncurry. Couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 6½f at Taree, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. MARS LANDING (4) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1m at Taree, beaten a head. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
