BEFORE THE WAR (2) is close to breaking through with five placings from six starts this campaign, last time out finishing third over 1000m at Albury. Ready to find winning form. THE WAYFARER (12) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1000m at Mildura after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. DILUTION (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.75 lengths when fifth over 1065m at Wagga Riverside a week-and-a-half ago after being in contention on the corner. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. CHAIRMAN'S CHOICE (3) resumed a week-and-a-half ago over 1065m at Wagga Riverside and was only beaten 1.2 lengths into fourth. Fitter and sure to run well.
