Verdict

THORSTEN (2) brings the most persuasive recent form after missing by a neck in a BM60 at Canberra, where he was slow away, covered ground and still finished strongly after having difficulty obtaining clear running. His Newcastle Mdn win prior showed he can convert that form, and Jess Taylor has already had one win and one placing from two rides on him. PURE MOTIVE (5) was sharp winning on debut at Muswellbrook, putting the race away quickly as favourite on soft ground. Should run the 5 ½f and the stable and jockey profile at this venue adds depth. Leading player again. PUTINACALL (6) has not missed a placing in four starts and was beaten a nose at Port Macquarie after being tightened, with a strong record around 5 ½f. Brings a strong SP profile and should be around the money. WON'THEARMECOMING (4) comes through a Class 2 second at this track when beaten half a length on soft ground. Has the right exposed standard to be a genuine danger again.

2	Went very close in a BM60 at Canberra last start, beaten a neck after beginning slowly, covering ground and having trouble getting clear around the turn. That followed a Newcastle Mdn win over 4 ½f where he beat Capdiva at generous odds.

5	Made an immediate statement on debut at Muswellbrook, winning a 4 ½f Mdn by just under four lengths as favourite on soft ground after putting the race away quickly. New 5 ½f test is the only real question. 2nd Pick 5 Pure Motive Jockey: Mitchell Bell Trainer: Brett & Georgie Cavanough J: Mitchell Bell T: Brett & Georgie Cavanough	140	-	-	-	19%	9/2

6	Was beaten a nose at Port Macquarie last start after settling well back and being tightened late, so the beaten-favourite tag is easy enough to temper. His third there start prior was solid, and he has one win and three placings from four runs around 5 ½f.
