READY FOR LIFT OFF (10) built on a nice third two starts back at Merriwa with a win over 1760m at Binnaway eight days ago, getting home by 2 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is good enough to take this out. RAILWAY AVENUE (4) did little and finished 10 lengths from the winner in 12th over 1400m at Dubbo last start, a less impressive effort than his seventh at Queanbeyan the run before. Nicely placed to take this out. IMAGE OF THE SUN (1) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start over 1600m at Quirindi, beaten 1.5 lengths. Ready to go one better. RUFUS WINRIGHT (2) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start over 1800m at Bathurst, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter for that run. Nicely placed to play a role in the finish.
