AAP

Started $2.90 when battled home in Open company at Dubbo. At optimum distance. Key player with even luck.

ILB

At $2.90 picked up some late ground when 4th last run at Dubbo and facing less formidable opponents. Jockey Clayton Gallagher riding for trainer Mr Mark Jones command respect. Should go well.

Well held in fourth having been second favourite at Dubbo over 5½f (handicap) last month; producing solid form figures; a proven winner with a career wins-runs record of 5-16; much respected with a bit more luck as excuses last time (hampered).

RSIS

Started at 15/8 and picked up some ground to run 4th last time at Dubbo and suited at this distance in the past. Competing in a lower grade. Good winning chance.

AAP

Just got there in a gripping finish at at Tamworth over today's trip. Winner at only other start at Coonamble. One for exotics.

ILB

Finished hard to win last start at Tamworth. Likely to get back. Marginal chance.

Halted losing run when springing a 16-1 surprise at Tamworth last month; possesses winning form at this track; could be in the mix.

RSIS

Dashed home to win last start at Tamworth. Likely to settle back in the field.

AAP

4 weeks since last run. Went close at Dubbo 10 Aug. Patiently handled, set alight and went down narrowly in the (Bm82) at Dubbo 7 Sep. Big show.

ILB

Threw down a serious challenge last start at Dubbo and gets a favourable gate. Should be going forward early. In fine form this preparation. Great chance.

Missed out by a nose at Dubbo behind Crusader Kings five weeks ago; producing consistent form and career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 4-14); recent effort was creditable so one to take seriously.

RSIS

Close to a win last run at Dubbo and will try to take advantage of the stall. Should muster plenty of early pace. Has strong claims.

AAP

First-up (21-weeks). Won Plate (C5) Dubbo 15 Mar. Can pull out a run fresh. Expecting a prominent showing fresh in this line-up.

ILB

First up after 21 weeks and finished well when winning first up last preparation at Dubbo. Possesses good finishing speed. Has minimal work to do from the gate. Will attract plenty of interest.

Comfortably beaten when 12th at 13-5 over 7f at Scone (handicap) five months ago; has managed four wins from 18 career runs and had been doing well before disappointing effort latest; returning from a layoff here; ought to be competitive.

RSIS

Resuming and picked up nicely to win resuming last preparation at Dubbo. Has very good closing pace. Has minimal work to do from the draw. Worth strong consideration.

AAP

Settled back and didn't figure in the Open Hcp at Dubbo. Hard to warm to here.

ILB

Started at $151.00 and came in 9th last run at Dubbo but up against a less competitive field. Significant improvement required.

Not far behind Crusader Kings when ninth over 5½f at Dubbo (handicap) last month; likes this combination of C&D; slumped a bit since winning a handicap at Dubbo in June; others have more pressing claims as this looks a fair heat.

RSIS

Started at 150/1 and finished 9th last run at Dubbo but up against a less competitive field.

AAP

On target for hat-trick. Just got there in a gripping finish at at Tamworth. Distance increase suits. Super fit from racing, can again play a role.

ILB

Dashed home to win last run at Tamworth but competing in a higher grade. Made it 2 wins on the trot. Has plenty of early speed. Outside chance.

Aiming to complete a hat-trick; narrow success in a handicap at Tamworth last month; despite that Tamworth success, passed over.

RSIS

Charged home to win last run at Tamworth but racing against tougher rivals. Won last 2 on the trot. Likely to be well placed early.

Every chance but compounded at Narromine. Looking elsewhere.

ILB

Jumped at $15.00 and was well beaten when 11th last start at Narromine and competing at a higher class. Shows good early pace. Goes down in weight. Most likely not today.

Possesses winning form at this track; finished 11th of 12 at Narromine over 6½f (handicap) last month; others have more pressing claims as this is a fairly competitive event.

RSIS

Started at 14/1 and lost ground in the run home when 11th last run at Narromine and up against a higher level of opposition. Dropping weight.

Resuming (43-weeks). Sticky draw to negotiate. First time around Coonamble. Fitness could tell.

ILB

Fresh after break of 43 weeks. At $4.80 lost ground in the run home when 5th last start at Dubbo and competing at a higher level of competition. Will struggle to compete in this race.

Not disgraced when fifth of seven at Dubbo over 1m (handicap) in December; returns from a layoff; meeting some horses in good form and only limited appeal.

RSIS

Resuming after a break of 43 weeks. At 4/1 folded up in the straight when 5th last run at Dubbo and racing in stronger company. Coming back in trip.

Surrendered late after leading second (Bm58) over this trip. Leads, handy. Could get into the placings.

ILB

Couldn't keep the momentum going throughout when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last time at Scone but competing in a more challenging grade. Placed at every start this campaign. Will be a difficult assignment.

Good effort when 1½l second (Scone) 16 days ago.

RSIS

Was in the race for a long way when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last time at Scone but facing a stronger group of contenders.

Odds correct as at 4:30 am AEDT. Odds can change.
