STUCK IN THE GORGE (3) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the turn at Muswellbrook, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths starting at 15/8. Finds a nice race and can atone. LONE STAR DREAM (2) settled towards the tail then wound up strongly to finish 4 lengths away in third when resuming last start over 7½f at Port Macquarie. Should run on into the finish again. RUFUS ATTICUS (8) was below his best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 3 lengths over 7f at Inverell. Has the talent to take care of this field. EFFIETRINKET (4) fought on for third last start over 1m at Gilgandra, beaten 4 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
