JASON DARREN (1) has a wide gate to contend with but has six placings on end this preparation and is very close to a win. Coming off a Warwick Farm placing last time and is entitled to go close. RITARACHELE (12) has first run for local stable and is back in trip after tackling 2114m second-up seven weeks ago. Gets blinkers and well worth keeping safe. ROYALIFY (5) has disappointed in two runs back but will find this a lot easier and is open to some improvement. DODGY FRECKLE (8) and TRAVELLER (6) have cases to run well.
