The 1st to take part will be Oakfield Private with Jeff Penza aboard at odds of 17-1.
Last time out the four-year-old gelding finished 8 of eight at Newcastle when competing in a maiden and will wear Winkers again for this assignment.
He faded to finish 4 lengths off the winner last start, & drops in weight here should roll forward though but will need to improve to play a part in this.
Race three will see Oakfield Twilight compete in 1200m maiden With Grant Buckley aboard the three-year-old gelding jumping from barrier five as a $6.50 chance.

Last time out he finished second of 8/900 m at Newcastle when racing as favourite and a similar effort here with Bucko aboard could see him crack the maiden status.

Race six will see a BM66 handicap over 1350m with Cirvinia to be ridden by Louise Day jumping from barrier (2) with the six-year-old mare currently at $11-1.
Last time out she finished fourth of 7/1250 m at Taree in a BM74 handicap when fading to finish four lengths off the winner.
She should race on the speed though second up form sees one placing from seven starts.
Three-year-old gelding Leogang is an 11 to 1 chance in race eight though at this stage looks likely to run at Cessnock on .
Best of luck on Saturday.
