LITE SIDE (7) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished tenth at her last appearance over 7¼f at Muswellbrook on January 13. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. SIPPING SHAMUS (4) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished third, beaten 2. 25 lengths, over 5½f at Armidale. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. REAL HOUSEWIVES (8) did her best work late to finish third at big odds at her latest appearance at Gilgandra over 6f87yards. Good signs last time and cannot be dismissed. DUNSTALL THE GUN (2) turned in an encouraging run when resuming, settling well back then winding up nicely to finish fourth over 5½f at Armidale. Outsprinted in the run home but kept coming and the longer journey looks ideal. Sound each-way chance.
