MEDINAH (5) was seven weeks between runs when an eye-catching fifth last start over today's trip at Mudgee. Down a little in grade and will strip fitter so he makes plenty of appeal. KOTAISHI (12) opened this prep in great style before failing in a Class 2 at Hawkesbury recently. Worth another chance in a more suitable contest. BONUS TEMPUS (11) charged home late over the mile at the Sapphire Coast eight days ago. Coming back in distance is a concern but he is one to watch for late in proceedings. Distance specialist CHAMPIONS LEAGUE (2) won a strong race at Queanbeyan last time. Has a wide gate to contend with but cannot be ruled out.
