Verdict

NOR NOR WEST (3) improved at each run this prep and will relish the good barrier again. Collared late with the 59kg when second over 1100m at Scone. One of the leading players. LACK OF RESTRAINT (7) Xtravagant filly out of Simply Brilliant on debut for the Baker stable. Given the two good trials in readiness for this and sure to go close. NOVA CENTAURI (8) Rubick filly from Novaspirit on debut for the Northam yard. Finished a solid second in a 900m Scone trial. Good enough to figure prominently. MASTER'N'COMMANDER (2) has looked better at his last two outings and drops in grade after finishing fourth at Hawkesbury last time out. Place best.

Going well. Last start 4th of 8 at Hawkesbury Mid 4yo+ Mdn on February 12 over 1100m, slow going 3.5 len behind Our Little Star carrying 52kg at $61. The race before that 4th of 12 at Muswellbrook Mdn-Sw on February 3 over 900m, 1.75 len behind Wedding Planner carrying 56kg at $101. Sure to be thereabouts.

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Gilgandra Mdn on February 8 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Zillions with 55kg at $4. The start before that raced on the speed throughout before fading 9th of 12 at Muswellbrook Mdn Hcp on January 13 over 1000m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Pelette carrying 53.5kg at $101. Thereabouts last time but unlikely to test the top few.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by Extreme Choice out of Ocean Nymph. At the most recent trial finished seventh on February 11 at Warwick Farm over 786m. Stays in the mix from the inside draw.
