Doubtful Angel is the probable leader in the small field. SUNSHINE SALLY (4) returns from a spell of 11 months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished fourth at Rockhampton over 1200m when first-up last time in work. Leading contender. DANCING TROFFEA (5) improved last start when she did her best work late to finish third over 1300m at Augathella. Likely improver with strong prospects. SPEED KING (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Strips fitter and can feature. SAINT ANNS (3) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth over 1100m at Longreach. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,5,2,3.
