Sherriff Cody and Valantino Roc can set a good tempo. VALANTINO ROC (4) was on speed first up winning a sprint comfortably at Doomben and then lacked a kick there over the same trip. Has the talent and is at his optimum distance range. Go well. DEMON DELIVERA (3) also steps up from sprints. Took two dominant Toowoomba wins to a Doomben 78 and didn't have the best of it. The mile is likely to suit and he may be worth another chance. SHOWMAN (7) got too far back at Doomben last time but was threatening there prior and draws handy today. Keep him well onside. COOL ENCOUNTER (2) was expected to go close at Doomben but was a bit disappointing. Brought decent form to that and also deserves consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Valantino Roc.
