The Merchant and Kidston can work across and set the tempo.
JOHN'S ROAD (3) is only lightly raced and strikes a winnable race here. Finished 9th of 13 in 1200m Sunshine Coast Mdn first-up this campaign but wasn't beaten that far and was tightened for room near the 200m. Has finished a close 3rd in a 1000m barrier trial at the Sunshine Coast since then and has drawn well here. Looks a good chance. THE BEST BAD BOY (8) was beaten less than 2.5 lengths when 5th in Beaudesert 1400m Mdn last start and is in the mix here. CHERBOURG (6) has been racing well this preparation with three placings from four starts. Closed the race off nicely for 3rd 1050m 3YO Mdn Gold Coast Poly track last week and looks a genuine chance of breaking through for a win here.
BUBBLES 'N' SPEAK (11) finished fourth at a big price over this course and distance two starts ago and has drawn nicely here. KIDSTON (4) is only lightly raced and could be one for multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with John's Road
