Verdict

Consistent mare DEEP STEALTH (7) came from midfield to prove a shade too strong in the dying stages over 1010m here last start. Has performed very well on two heavy surfaces this time in work. Has a tricky draw but otherwise has the boxes ticked for another win. RUSTIC TZAR (5) has been kept fresh since a modest effort over this distance at Kilcoy a month ago. Raced once in heavy going and scored so today's conditions may spark a revival. ENHANCE (3) came off a seven-week let-up to record an impressive win over this distance at Grafton recently. Loves the sting out of the ground so a repeat performance is on the cards. CHARLOTTE'S HERE (9) is yet to miss the frame in four wet track appearances, the latest at Beaudesert when edged out on a heavy deck nine days ago. Sure to give a good account. ARCHIE MAXIMUS (6) is a handy gelding who won his maiden in great style at Grafton two back. His only three misses have been on heavy tracks which is the caveat.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 2nd of 7 at Port Macquarie Ctry Cl1 on May 18 over 1006m, on a wet track; head behind I'm Super carrying 56.5kg at $4. Second run from a spell ran on from midfield and won by a neck at this track Ctry Bm58 June 8 over 1010m in the wet defeating Herald Angel carrying 58.5kg at $2.60. Honest mare who just needs luck from a wide gate to be in the finish again.

Returns from a 34-day let-up. Last start sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 12 at Port Macquarie Bm58 on May 18 over 1509m, on rain affected going; 8 len behind Yorikiri carrying 60.5kg at $5.50. The start before that favourite; won by 3 len at Grafton Ctry Mdn April 7 over 1180m defeating Amazigh Torque carrying 58.5kg at $1.60. Freshened up but would need a track upgrade to show his best.
