Genuine pace with Over Draft taking up the running ahead of Wise Choice and Capricornus. OVER DRAFT (6) was well backed at debut effort when runner-up at Toowoomba, and will have taken plenty from that run. Expect he will be improving today against this lot. Stick with. MOOCHI STARLIGHT (4) has moved up from NSW where he cut his teeth in some tougher provincial races. Would be keeping him very safe today in what looks to be an easier assignment. EL FORTRESS (3) has moved up from Victoria and falls into the same boat as Moochi Starlight. Might just prove a cut above these. WARHOL (10) has been thereabouts this campaign and looks an each-way chance while UPTURN (11) comes into this off a last-start 5th at Kilcoy and is not without some hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Toss 6,4,3 into a boxed quinella.
