Temple Run rarely puts in a bad one, and just missed in a thinner race at Orange last start when heavily backed. Hard fit, but this is tougher.

Oribella runs second at Hawkesbury on September 24

Out to the mile for a tricky maiden. Improving filly 5. All Too Rio produced a better run third-up when ridden closer at Orange after flopping as a well backed chance at Canberra.

Locally-trained 2. Private Agent is a smart 3YO resuming off a five-month break, with the blinkers added. Had two nice trials to prepare, and bolted in on debut late autumn. The one to beat.

Dangers: Home track 6YO 6. Rozburg is over the odds from the draw after four runs back. Got home nicely at Wagga last start when well specked in the market, and the winner has since won a very handy CL3. Capable mare 3.

Very open battle to finish. Local 6YO 12. Mr Kylin has won three of his last five, and is ready for this tougher test. Bolted home from the front here in a BM 58 when well backed, and only needs to get over from a wide draw to control the race.

Dangers: Warwick Farm 7YO 1. Tessera has a poor winning strike rate, but consistently close-up of late in similar grade, and draws to get a nice trail just off the speed. Kembla mare 8.
