Not much early pressure but Zhongxin Koala, Exoflow and Kanmuru can take up forward spots. ANDREA (1) comes here with a massive fitness edge over most of these. Up in trip when chipped away late to finish fourth over 1205m at Coffs Harbour. Prefer over this trip and gets his chance with the claim. ZHONGXIN KOALA (6) looks one of the leading prospects third up. Jumped in grade when a fading sixth over 1350m at Doomben. Tempo suits and will be attacking the line strongly. LADY TUATARA (10) is a filly by The Autumn Sun out of Lahana on debut for the Jordan Lee yard. Her last two trials were okay, and the blinkers go on. Respect. SECRET ROSE (11) resumes after the two good minor placings at the Sunshine Coast. Worth thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Andrea to get off the mark.
