HAMAGUCHI (4) is yet to break through after four starts. Placed two back then last time out was fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1200m at this track. The blinkers go on. Overdue and looks a great chance to open winning account. SQUATTERNUT BOSH (3) faced the starter for the first time and finished sixth last start at Wagga over 1000m, beaten one length. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. SALLY'S KATO (8) got well back over 1413m at Sapphire Coast last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 4.5 lengths away in fourth. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. STORMY MALICE (9) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 1.1 lengths, over 1200m at Corowa. Among the main hopes.
