Ahern will cross from the wide draw and looks the most likely to lead. Ahern will spear over from the wide gate to lead at a generous gallop from Spread The News and Wild Az Will. SPREAD THE NEWS raced up on the pace last start over 1300m at Townsville but just lacked the kick to compete over the concluding stages. Rated well the run before when 3rd over this trip, and looks a chance in this very even race coming back to six furlongs. DAY OF THE FOX improved again last start when a game 2nd at Atherton over 1100m. Freshened up for this and ready to peak now over this more favourable trip. The lightly raced MY BOY ALEX was safely held when runner up at Atherton last start over 1100m. Has only been to the races three times so there is plenty of room for improvement. Stablemate ELECTRIC SHOCK was a big effort last start after a very long spell. Sure to take a lot from the hitout. SUGGESTED PLAY: Day Of The Fox for the win.
