Verdict

RUN RORY RUN (5) impressed when fresh from a spell over 6 ¼f at Taree last start, driving hard late to be beaten under a length in a BM82. Doesn't boast a great second-up record but he revels in heavy going and this step up in distance is ideal. GHOST WALKER (4) continued his excellent recent form with a game second in open company over this distance at Port Macquarie last time out. That run followed a 45-day reset so he should exhibit some improvement here. One of the key contenders. SUPREME COMMAND (1) led all the way for a well-deserved win a fortnight ago at Port Macquarie, defeating Ghost Walker. Goes up 5kgs which is a worry but he loves heavy tracks and is in a rich vein of form. CAPO STRADA (2) improved sharply last start when second-up from a break over 7f at Inverell. Needs this sort of trip now so another big run looks on the cards. ZOU BIG BOY (10) is a free roller who is racing well but is without a win for 13 months. Each-way chance down in the weights.

5	Second run back. First-up after seven months made some head-way from midfield, 3rd of 11 at Taree Bm82 on June 5 over 6 ¼f, on a wet track, 0.8 len behind Koios carrying 125lbs at $31. Previously second-up 3rd of 7 at Muswellbrook Bm66 on July 8 over 6f, on a slow track, 1.5 len behind Myalaby carrying 129lbs at $17. Yet to win in eight second-up runs but this looks an ideal assignment. 1st Pick 5 Run Rory Run Jockey: Unknown Jockey Trainer: Tony Ball J: Unknown Jockey T: Tony Ball	98	-	-	-	8%	12/1

4	Form hard to fault. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Port Macquarie Wcpe Cup on June 14 over 7 ½f, slow going 1.2 len behind Supreme Command with 121lbs at $7. The race before that raced on the pace when 2nd of 11 at Wagga 4yo+ Bm66 on April 30 over 1m, 6 len behind Mcadam carrying 139lbs at $3.80. Should enjoy a nice run from the inside gate and on current form is a huge chance. 2nd Pick 4 Ghost Walker Jockey: Ben Looker Trainer: Paul Snowden J: Ben Looker T: Paul Snowden	155	-	-	-	25%	3/1
