Genuine tempo with the speedy Born To Be Alive leading the way. BRAVE DEEL (2) recorded a win and a minor placing over 2200m at Grafton before failing at Toowoomba last start. Drops in grade and looks well in after the claim. Can make amends. FORCE ME (9) led all the way in a BM58 over this distance at Kilcoy two back then struggled on the all-weather track at the Gold Coast last time. Big chance back in this more suitable contest. DURUSEHVAR (8) mixes her form. Best recent effort was three back in this grade at Port Macquarie when beaten a length. One for the exotics. BORN TO BE ALIVE (7) can surprise coming off a two-month break. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Brave Deel.
