DWAYNE (1) progressed nicely last start when lining up for the second time, leading for home then boxing on well to be beaten under a length over this distance at Gosford. Doesn't meet any better types today. McDonald going on adds to the confidence. JASON DARREN (4) made it five minor placings in a row when a respectable third over 1500m at Hawkesbury eleven days ago. Holding his form well and should be competitive against this lot. SON OF RUBICK (3) started favourite but again filled a minor placing at his latest appearance over 1400m at Goulburn. Will race handy and give backers a sight. Recent trial winner FIRST THOUGHT (2) from the Ciaron Maher stable debuts. Son of So You Think who should handle this trip and can definitely play a role in the outcome. LA GRACIA (8) has been a bit plain on the country circuit but can improve here with the blinkers coming off.
