Keen tempo headed by the fleet-footed Mooloolaba. MOOLOOLABA (2) is unbeaten in 3 starts since joining the local Georgina Holt stable, with all of those victories coming on this circuit. He prefers a soft track and can take the next step immediately. MAJESTICS REQUEST (3) was runner-up behind the top pick last start and is 2.5 kilos better off at the weights this time. He tries hard and can push that runner again. Each-way. INDICTMENT (1) capped off some fine form to open this prep with a comfortable win at Cairns just over a fortnight ago. He is very versatile and Ryan Wiggins sticks with him. Can win. JOE'S GIGGLE (5) was a Bowen picnic winner 2 starts back and then ran a bold second here last time out. He has 3-kilos less to carry this time and can't be ruled out in the small field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mooloolaba to win.
