Despite the wide draw Extraordinaire should cross and set a genuine tempo.
STARRY EYES (11) has raced well all prep without winning. Went back to last from a wide alley in a big field last Saturday over this course and distance before closing late to grab third. Cherry ripe and gets a bit of weight relief today. Big chance in a hard race. BRENTWOOD (1) returned to form last start when a game second over 1350m at Doomben. On-pacer who can overcome the wide gate. Just one placing in five visits to Eagle Farm is the concern. EVOCATOR (2) was six weeks between runs when midfield over 1350m at Doomben a fortnight ago, coming from last on the bend. Far better placed on this bigger track so with added fitness he poses a serious threat. Ciaron Maher's SCENTIFY (5) has bumped into two classy stablemates in his two runs this Autumn. Good fresh performer coming here off an eight-week let-up. Must be respected. POETIC DRAMA (8) caught the eye first-up at Doomben and she always performs better here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Starry Eyes each-way in a very deep race.
