OUTLAW ANNIE (5) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing a nose from the winner in second over 1000m at Wellington. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. GEMOLOGIST (1) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1000m at Muswellbrook three-and-a-half weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. PUFFIN (6) has started twice, missing the frame on debut then doing a better job to finish second last time, beaten half a length over 1000m at Tamworth. Should be prominent from the outset. Progressive type who is among the leading chances. CZECH HER OUT (8) hit the line nicely to finish fifth, beaten 2.5 lengths, on debut last start over 1000m at Tamworth. Capable of featuring in the finish.
