Verdict

COMMANDO JACK (3) is the one to beat after missing by a head at Forbes last week as a short odds-on favourite, travelling well before being narrowly denied by Jade Division. His earlier BM58 failure at Mudgee was plain, but he has three wins around 1300m, handles wet ground and brings the strongest recent rating into this BM50. MS REEVES (8) is the clear danger after finishing third at Forbes, beaten just over half a length, and she also has the useful line of having beaten Loud there last week. LOUD (15) has not been winning, yet she was only beaten just over two lengths in that same Forbes race. Owns a win from three starts at this track and handles wet tracks well. COMMANDER MEROO (2) comes back from BM58 company after catching the eye late at Taree, and his 1300m record keeps him firmly in the winning discussion despite the gap between wins.

Verdict
Went within a head at Forbes last week, travelling strongly behind the leaders and only just missing as a short odds-on favourite behind Jade Division. He did race keenly through the middle stages, but he backed up his market strength with a much better performance than his earlier BM58 eighth at Mudgee. Strong recent profile and proven at 1300m make him the one to beat.

Verdict
Comes back after six days following a second-last in Class 2 grade at Coonamble, beaten four and a half lengths at long odds behind Big Lon. His previous fourth in a BM58 at this track was better, beaten just under two lengths by Nor Nor West after being slow away, but he has been unplaced in all seven starts over the past 12 months. The prior run at this track was better, but recent winning form is lacking.

Verdict
Returns from a two-month freshening after a better run than sixth suggests in a BM58 at Taree, charging home before being hampered near the 150m and beaten four and a half lengths by Chestime. His Muswellbrook run prior was only fair after beginning awkwardly, but he drops from BM58 to BM50, handles wet tracks and has five wins around 1300m. Proven at 1300m and wet tracks, so this BM50 suits.

Verdict
Turned in a strong Forbes run last week, finishing third and beaten just over half a length by Bitta Bon Magic after beginning awkwardly yet travelling into the race well. Her Grenfell BM58 effort before that was only fair in a small field, but she had already shown winning form this season. Claim helps and her recent season form reads well for this.

Verdict
Was beaten just over two lengths at Forbes last week, finishing sixth behind Bitta Bon Magic after holding a handy position but failing to go on. She was also only fair at Mudgee prior, yet the margins have not been severe and she returns to a venue where she has won from three attempts. Major player.

Verdict
Was safely held in a BM58 at Dubbo last start on heavy ground, finishing seventh and beaten ten lengths by Mrs Bull after losing position before the turn. His first run back at Mendooran was more competitive when fifth, beaten just under three lengths, but there was no obvious excuse last time. Has to find more late.

Verdict
Returns from a two-month freshening after a plain Class 1 run at this track, where he was bumped at the start but still weakened sharply to finish last, beaten over 13 lengths. He had earlier been seventh in another Class 1 at Warren, beaten four and a half lengths on soft ground. Last run was too plain, but the claim gives him some minor-place scope.

Verdict
Finished fourth at Mudgee last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Brogans Creek, but that was at picnic level and this is harder company. He had been well beaten in a CG BM58 at Gunnedah prior, where he was unwanted in the market and lost ground around the 500m. Best treated as a place chance.

Verdict
Finished third in an Open at Bundarra last start, but was beaten over 12 lengths in a five-horse picnic race, so the placing flatters him. His previous Come By Chance fourth also came in Open grade but he was beaten six and a half lengths despite some market support. Place only.

Ran third in a Trophy at Young last week, but was still beaten five and a half lengths in a small field and now comes from picnic grade into harder company. She had earlier finished midfield in an Open at Dubbo after being steadied and racing wide, beaten just over four lengths. Improvement is required.

Kept on fairly for seventh at Forbes last week, beaten three and a half lengths by Bitta Bon Magic after being bumped at the start and settling back. The prior Mudgee run was poor when last, though she was tightened at the jump. Place claims if she improves on recent starts.

Verdict
Returns from a lengthy six-month spell after ending last preparation with a second-last in Class 1 grade at Bathurst, beaten over 11 lengths at big odds. His previous fourth in a BM45 at Binnaway had more merit after he was slow away, wide throughout and steadied late. Last campaign ended flat, but the earlier Binnaway fourth had excuses and his 1300m record gives place appeal.

Verdict
Finished fourth in a Trophy at Young last week, beaten nine lengths by State Of Grace after racing keenly in the middle stages. That followed a last placing in an Open at Dubbo where she made no impression after settling well back.
