Early speed from Outa Taormina and Jonny Da Wolf with Space Journey close-up. JONNY DA WOLF (4) narrowly missed here and then at Doomben after. Peaks now and Orman is a key jockey switch. He's in good hands and will take plenty of beating. KILNA (5) resumes for the sharp Vandyke yard and was narrowly beaten here on debut. Has a wide gate but the high-striking stable favourite Maloney can manage that. Will be naturally improved and a bold effort is likely. NITROGEN (1) resumed on the Heavy at the Sunshine Coast and was safely held after a slow start. Missed a nose both runs last campaign including here. Keep Rodd and fitter can get some of the money. STORM DREAMER (10) resumed in good order in the same contest. Finally has a low gate and can keep improving. No surprise to see a much better effort from the Neasham-trained DILIGENTE (14) drawn to advantage. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Jonny Da Wolf.
