Verdict

LA CACHE A VIN (8) gone to a new level this prep with the three wins from his last five starts. Rounded them up effortlessly with the 123lbs when saluting over 5 ?f at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again in this stronger contest. SOOBOOCO (2) big class drop when he shouldered the 133lbs for a tough on-pace fourth over 5 ½f at Armidale. Will roll forward again with the senior rider hopping on. Each-way. CABSAV (4) has a good record on his home track and can improve sharply at his third run back. Battled on fairly with the 132lbs when sixth over 5 ½f at Armidale. Leading player from the low draw. TRYANZA (9) another suited on his home track who gets weight relief today. Sat on the good tempo with the 133lbs when a narrow fifth over 5 ?f at this track. Can stalk the good tempo and figure prominently.
