LOU WILL NZ (5) led and cruised home by 18m two back at this circuit and distance then was a beaten favourite at his latest appearance but still performed well when 2 metres away in second at Penrith. Draws wider but with even luck he can take care of these. KASBAH (4) found the going a little tough in the last two outings at Menangle but recorded two wins and a placing from his previous three attempts at this venue so is much better placed. JILLIBY AMIGO (6) got the prize here two runs back then things went sour last time when he broke following interference. Worth another chance. ULTIMATE EMPIRE (7) scored back-to-back wins before finishing less than 4m away last start. Go well.

Returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Sea Salt at Globe Derby Park over 2230m in a 4yo+ on January 31 at $51. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Keep safe fresh.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back posted a big 17 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:25.70) beating Ire Of The Dragon in on May 22 at $1.50 at the bell was leading 8.08. Last start just missed, good run when 2nd (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early speed at Penrith was 2nd-0.27 at the bell, beaten 2 m by Miss Blue Stork (2:06.40) on May 28 at $1.50.

Last start was well beaten into ninth after showing early speed, behind The Cid at this track over 2030m on June 5 at $2.60. Performed better the start before where he won by a head (Sr2) at this track (1:55.20) beating Mister Brillante in on May 22 at $5.50 at the bell was 6th-10.2. Better than last start and definitely worth another chance.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Sr2) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway beaten 4 m by Our Rocky (2:04.90) on May 29 at $6. Showed ability the run before when he won by 17 m as favourite (Sr2) at Penrith (2:04.10) beating Flo Ryda in on May 25 at $3.20 at the bell was 2nd-1.66. Capable of playing a role.
