Expecting Dividends Paid to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. COSMIC FORTUNE (7) worked home from the back in great style, delivering in 50 grade over 1013m at Murwillumbah as public elect. She can sit handier today from an inside barrier and is well-placed to repeat the dose. TRYANZA (2) brings a close third this track/trip and was even better beaten 1L at the venue prior. Maps for the run of the race and he has winning claims. DIVIDENDS PAID (3) resumes and was an easy winner at Coffs Harbour on debut over a shorter sprint. He's promising and has prepared for his return with a Port Macquarie trial win. One of the key chances. SEA OF QI (5) resumes and is right up to this if presented forward enough for the 1006m sprint. Has placed 7/7 fresh and at his only outing over the trip. The betting will be key. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cosmic Fortune to win.
