STERN DISPUTE (8) will find this a little easier than his third on debut four weeks ago, beaten 5 lengths at the end of 6f at Gosford. Likely improver so a big run is anticipated. KIRKALL (3) followed an unplaced effort when resuming two runs back with a third last start over 6¼f at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. SMASHING NOVA (7) showed good speed and fought on for second over 6¼f at this track last time. Blinkers are added in a positive move by the stable. CHISTOTA (1) had support on debut last time out when he boxed on fairly to finish fifth, beaten 4. 5 lengths over 6f at Port Macquarie. Strong top-three chance.
