Adios is facing the starter for the second time after sticking on well for second on debut at Muswellbrook three weeks ago.
The son of Snitzel finished less than a length behind Zetarita, while the third placegetter from that race has since franked the form by going on to win at Taree since.
Barrier 5 should see Robbie Dolan roll forward and I am confident the pair will prove tough to run down.
Rahni Factor led for most of the way at Port Macquarie three weeks ago before weakening out in the late stages to finish third.
She should push forward again and look to lead, but the 4kg drop in weight means she’ll have a little more left for the finish this time around.
The inside gate is also to her advantage, while the fact she won third-up during her maiden prep reads well.
Parksville is worth forgiving on his second-up run when he found himself a little too close to the speed at Randwick.
This looks a much more genuine tempo for him, while the drop back from 1200m also appears ideal.
Josh Parr rode him to a place on the Kensington track two starts back and he is also a third-up winner in the past.
Different Strokes won his maiden two starts back over the track and distance before going on to finish a narrow second at Kembla Grange over further last week.
He returns on the quick backup looking to atone, and this does look a very winnable race for him based on the strong sample of form he’s shown so far.
Hugh Bowman has options from barrier 3 and the pair should be doing their best work late.
