Track: HEAVY 8   Scattered Thunderstorms   Rail: True Entire Course. (Pent: 5.61).  

Jerrazz looks the most likely to push forward and take up the lead. Jerrazz has good gate speed and will show the way from Sek Loso and In Barbados. MEDIEVAL resumed from a long spell last start with a commendable 4th over 1200m at Townsville, finding the line well despite travelling wide. The seven-day back-up is a good sign from the stable that the run did him no harm. I'M NOT SURE resumed in a Class 4 at Innisfail last start and did a good job under a big weight to finish runner up. Hasn't won for a while but his second up form is solid so improvement is anticipated. JERRAZZ got his tongue over the bit when resuming last start and didn't let down - the gear change today will fix that problem. Former Tasmanian who is worth another chance on the quick back up. FIZZICALLY WICKED is ready to show something now at her fourth run back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Medieval for the win.
