KNIGHTS ARMOUR (1) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fifth over 1m1f at Wagga, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has a solid record at the third run in so a big run is on the cards. STAR BUYER (2) was a most impressive winner last time over 1m1f at Kerang, scoring by 4.5 lengths. Has been in solid form this campaign with two wins to his name. Leading contender. DUPED BY SPIN (5) gave the leaders a start last start and made little impact in the straight when 12th, beaten 8 lengths, over this journey in the LR Albury Gold Cup at this track. The engagement of Nick Souquet is a positive move. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. ASHAU VALLEY (7) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Wagga two starts back then landed the prize by half a length last time out over 1m2 1/2f at Benalla. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
