Don’t What Me tuned up when finishing down the order at Newcastle last month but took improvement into a stronger performance to fill the minors at Wyong last time out Fitter third-up this week, he has each way claims in what looks to be a wide-open contest.

We haven’t seen Bello Cavallo at the race since February, but he raced competitively in metro company last time in and was only just denied at this point of his preparation. With the benefit of a couple of recent trials under his belt, he can hit the ground running.

Katoto was fair in the market ahead of her debut at Hawkesbury earlier this month and was ultimately the best of the rest behind an impressive Extremely Tempted. That horse has since come out and run an eye-catching third in a stronger Saturday metro race and Katoto looks well placed to go one better this week.

Funshow made three appearances during his debut prep, finishing the runner up on all three occasions but finding form around some credible opposition. He’s been charged with carrying topweight this week but does get some relief under Shannen Llewellyn, and with even luck in the run, he certainly looks up to winning something of this quality.

Luna Bay is yet to strike in four runs back from a break, but there’s no doubt that she has improved with fitness, and she hit the line to fill the minors over 2100m at Wyong last time out, finishing just over a length behind the winner. In peak order this week, she’s another whom we can have something on each way.
| 8. Luna Bay (10) J: Jason Collett 56kg x8303T: Richard & Will Freedman |
Bang On Time has only made two competitive appearances since debuting, but after working home to only just be denied here back in March, she was freshened and returned to win over 1250m at Newcastle. With natural improvement and in what isn’t the strongest Wednesday contest, she can continue her journey through the grades.
| 4. Bang On Time (5) J: Chad Lever 57kg 21T: Kerry Parker |
While she has only won one of five starts since debuting, Rosa Incanta has found form around some credible opposition having placed a further two times, while she was last seen finishing off the pace of subsequent Group 1 winner Green Spaces in the Group 3 Spring Stakes at Newcastle. This is obviously a substantially weaker contest, and she has trialled up nicely.
| 5. Rosa Incanta (1) J: Regan Bayliss 58.5kg x518xT: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott |
