Reasonable tempo with Master Jamie probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. HARD REYVA (4) was outgraded at Eagle Farm but was quickly back on track placing at Ipswich trailing the speed. Draws to advantage and gets in light this grade with a 2kg claim atop. Tough to beat. FINE SHOT (9) disappointed at the Gold Coast and has been freshened. Has been kept up to the mark with two nice trials and first up was backed off the map here winning the Open 3. Has weight relief and is feared. MASTER JAMIE (1) has also been refreshed and is always a chance at this level. Led and wasn't beaten far last time in a rich Gold Coast feature. An inside gate advantages. ISIS CARMELLA (2) resumes and performs fresh. Has nice pieces of form and Butler steers from a handy gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Hard Reyva.
