Power Supply looks well placed when lining up in the Jungle Juice Cup (1350m) at Cessnock today.
The Kris Lees-trained runner has been competitive in all four runs this campaign and ran on well when fifth at Newcastle last time out.
Andrew Gibbons goes back on board and despite not having won at the trip previously he has run well over the trip previously and on recent form rates well against these.
Power Supply possesses a good career record and on t he back of a freshen up should prove hard to hold out in the feature race of the day.
The five-year-old gelding only just missed when runner up at Doomben three back in what looks to be tougher than this and would expect him to get back from barrier 12 and hit the line strongly.
Stablemate Kingsdesire resumed in good order when third at Tamworth last start off a lengthy spell and is likely to take good improvement from the run.
Far from disgraced in metropolitan company last time in and despite not having won a race in a long time now, Brenton Avdulla takes the ride for the first time.
Kingsdesire has been freshened since his last start effort and the former UK and Singapore galloper is certainly worth keeping very safe in a race like this.
Aghamore will certainly appreciate the drop in grade today after not beating a runner home when resuming at Rosehill last start.
Won in metropolitan company last time in and his second up record previously is very good.
On best form measures up well here and with the much needed 2kg claim from apprentice jockey gets in well.
Proven at the trip and despite being well accounted for behind Two Blue at Rosehill last start he looks right up to winning a race like this.
Youthful King will be out to win an impressive fourth straight Jungle Juice Cup today with Robert Thompson on board.
Getting out to around a year since his last win now which came at Taree but recent form has been solid enough to make his way into the finish.
Certainly hard to leave the rising 10-year-old out of the multiples with such a good record in the race and could surprise here.
Other chances include the stablemate Collar who has been freshened for this off a modest showing at Gunnedah and last start winner Kinetics.
