CHIEF WHITE SOCK (1) drops back to his pet trip of 1000m and is also down in grade. He is likely to push forward and try to lead this field, so don't take him lightly. On top. QUANAPIRRI BAY (2) has been freshened up since his last start win here 9 weeks ago. He has a good draw and should be right in the finish here. RED HAWK (5) just battled fresh up here and has yet to hit his straps since relocating to this area last season. He has the pole position and can finish a lot closer this time. GAME COVE (6) hasn't measured up since making the move from South Australia earlier in the year. A recent spell would have given him more time to acclimatise. He can do better, and has some chance fresh up. Watch the market moves. STANDING BEAR (3) resumes from a spell for a new trainer and has been well beaten in his last few starts in NSW. A change of scenery can help the older geldings, and the market will be an important guide to his chances fresh up. SPLISH SPLASH (4) is worth including.
