Solid tempo likely from the outset with Mishani Platinum and Tsunami Force prominent. No surprise to see MR SQUIGGLE'S MATE (1) resume an improved galloper. Had support here on debut and Butler is booked and is flying. Maps for the run of the race. DIVINE KAMEHALANI (6) has had plenty of chances but this isn't strong and her Rockhampton effort two back would see her around the mark. FAIRYBOWER FLYER (7) has had even more chances but she's improved her last three and will carry only 51kgs after the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Squiggle's Mate if the betting suggests stable confidence.
