DEION (4) built on a nice third two starts back at Mudgee with a win as favourite over 1200m at Warren two weeks ago, getting home by a long neck. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is capable of another big performance. ROTHGATE (7) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.3 lengths over 1200m at Gulgong as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins and two minor placings from seven runs. Can measure up again. EDGE OF REWARD (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Parkes over 1200m. Meeting a deeper field this time but he cannot be underestimated. DREAM GAME (3) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when seventh over 1000m at Dubbo after he was well back on straightening. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
