Expecting Craiglea Oreo to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. Definitely a handful of chances at the top end, before this one falls right away. DAWN EMBERS (8) should slot in very nicely today, after storming home into second at Mackay resuming. Reckon he can go one better than that today. VILLANDRY (3) almost pinched it resuming, then just got too far back in harder last time in. Worth another chance. SCOTTVILLE SCOOTER (14) brings some Sunshine Coast form into this, and that should stack right up in this field. WARHOL (11) wasn't too far away in a bunched finish at Mackay last time and warrants respect. LONHANOVA (5) definitely worth including in multiples off a freshen up, and he should be breaking through up here soon enough. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dawn Embers to win this one.
