Without a recognised leader a modest gallop is on the cards. BRAVE COWBOY BILL (5) put in a career-best performance when a close-up third at the Sunny Coast last time out and strikes a very winnable contest here. Drawn to slot in nicely from gate two and can feature prominently with a repeat effort. STRAWBERRY LADY (6) is having her first run for the new stable but the form she has shown in previous campaigns is good enough to play a role in a contest like this. Can run a race while fresh. ZIMBARA (9) has placed when first-up before and gets in well of the weights with the 4kg claim. In the mix. The well-related LIFE OF TREE (11) (full to G3 winner The Amazonian) best of the rest in race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,6,9,11.
