IMAGE OF THE SUN (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SHUTTER (12) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Gunnedah, most recently beaten 0.7 lengths into third over 1400m at Mudgee. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. EAGLESCLIFFE (9) broke through for his maiden win over 1300m at Armidale last time. Shaping up nicely and he is one of the main chances. TAVANASIA (1) lifted strongly to score two runs back then was prominent in the run last time before finishing ninth over 1400m at Mudgee. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Not to be discounted.
