Inverell Race 7 - De Bortoli Wines Hcp (C2)
The three main dangers to PAPPIANA (9) have been scratched which makes her task so much easier. Sat just off the speed but didn't do enough in the closing stages over the mile at Parkes last start. Won three back over today's journey at Tamworth. Eligible for easier races but this field has dropped right away and at the weights she comes out clearly on top. MEDDLESOME (8) was back in form here six days ago over today's trip, finishing third and just a couple of lengths from the winner. Might get a soft lead here after the withdrawals and should be peaking at the fourth run in from a spell. IMEZAAKI (1) is a recent acquisition for the Craig Clegg stable and resumes today. Not a noted first-up performer but his best form comfortably trumps anything dished up by the rest of this field. Must be respected. Ex-Ciaron Maher-trained BONFIDELITY (4) is back from a break. Lightly raced filly with more upside than most. NOTABADONE (11) is racing well and cannot be dismissed.

She is resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation sixth of 12 at Seymour Bm64 December 19 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Samurai with 53.5kg at $16. On debut sixth of 9 at Pakenham 3yo F Mdn-Sw November 8 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Bronte Beach carrying 57kg at $21. Will take great benefit from this run but can sneak into the finish.
