(* Any updates for Western Australia later on *)

Comments: Grafton 1-2 Gorbachov has grown a leg since changing stables and if he runs up to his two last start wins then he'll bring up a hat trick in this. Grafton 3-5 Totally Grateful has placed at 4 of 5 runs so is consistent and should be a chance again. Kyneton 1-3 Long Haul hasn't been beaten far in his 3 runs in good Maiden fields. Steps up to 2000m here and is by Exceed And Excel, which is a worry stamina-wise, but if he can lead at a slow tempo then should be able to sprint away in the straight. Northam 3-2 Star Of Danetime had his first non-metropolitan run when winning first up over this course. With Paul Harvey on board he'll be favourite and you'd expect her to run well in this.
