GEMOLOGIST (5) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1000m at Muswellbrook two-and-a-half weeks ago. Promising type who can go back-to-back. LOVE AND LIGHT (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth in a 1000m contest at Kembla Grange nine days ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. WHISPERING MURIEL (12) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1200m at this track, beaten 18 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. BUCK PHAROAH (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing ninth at Taree over 1000m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
