A keen contest with I'lltellyouafter and Monty Road leading from Sweet 'N' Elite. MONTY ROAD (2) has shown pace in the country last two and run down but is course and distance placed and looks well in here back at the sharper trip with the claim. Take catching. I'LLTELLYOUAFTER (8) has switched yards since finishing seventh five weeks ago over 860m at Gatton. Best figures stack up and expected to feature. ROCKY PRINCE (3) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 4 lengths when fifth over 1100m at Mackay. This is easier and will be winding up late. SENSEI GIRL (4) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished 12th over 1000m at Townsville. Showed ability in only her other run and is a chance here fresh. RAAR (5) rates highly on his run two is back and can make amends. SUGGESTED PLAY: Monty Road to take catching.
