Genuine pace with Our Free Spirit taking up the running ahead of Ma's Epic and Passionate Rebel. MILLWARD (5) did a bit of work early before settling outside the leader at Doomben last start in 1660m Bm75 and battled on in straight to finish fifth. Drops in grade and from a nice draw he can give this a shake. MA'S EPIC (9) was third as favourite in 1350m F&M BM62 at Ipswich two starts ago then led and just went down by a nose when $1.90 favourite in 1200m BM58 on Gold Coast Poly track April 13. Has a wide draw but can give a good sight again. DRIALLE (7) placed twice in his past four starts and goes into this off a last-start 8th in a BM70 at Eagle Farm on April 20 over 1400m. Respect in this grade from a good draw. SIENNA'S AWARD (10) has been narrowly beaten in past two starts at Gatton in BM62 grade and won the start before that at the same track. Has to be considered again from a soft draw. PASSIONATE REBEL (6) was just behind SIENNA'S AWARD in two of those Gatton races so he has claims here as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to go with Millward.
