Plenty of pace with Loaded Weapon and Too Many Kisses leading from Honourbefore Glory. LOADED WEAPON (4) recorded his first win last start over 900m at Springsure, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Sparingly raced and nicely placed to double the win tally. HONOURBEFORE GLORY (2) has switched yards since finishing fifth a month ago over 1075m at Thangool. Finds a suitable race and likely to play a major role. HIGH SECURITY (1) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when third over 1300m at Moree. Deserves to break through and looks well placed to do so. OFFICE POLITICS (3) came home strongly last start to finish second, only beaten 0.6 lengths, over 1050m at Mackay. Among the main hopes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Loaded Weapon to go on with it.
