JED (1) failed to figure again last time over 1600m at Coonamble, beaten 7 lengths into ninth. Has the blinkers removed. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. LADY ALABAMA (12) was 11 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1106m at this track last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Has the addition of blinkers. Well placed and happy to have her on top. STAR LACY (7) made progress last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at Tuncurry. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is good enough to play a major role. ASSENT (4) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at Coffs Harbour, beaten 2 lengths. Fitter for that run. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
