JET EMPRESS (1) classy mare with the solid record of four wins from 10 starts. Made a mess of them last time out with the 58.5kg when a dominant winner over 1000m at Dubbo on November 2. This is no stronger and can win again. ACOTANGO (5) fourth-up for this and ready to lift after needing the run when tenth over 1100m at Coonabarabran on October 27. Was five weeks between runs last time out and the tongue-tie goes on today. Will relish the claim from the soft draw. STRATIFIED (7) undefeated at this track and returned to form with a slick on-pace victory over 1200m at Warren on November 10. Up in grade and will give a ton of cheek again. GIDGEE GUY (2) tough old gelding who was first-up when returning to form with a fast finishing second over 1000m at Dubbo in BM66 class on November 2. Has a good record here and stays in the mix.
