Tricky one to map with a large contingent of unraced runners. Tricky. BEE TWO (3) is in the sharp Vandyke yard and was heavily backed on the poly on debut (Maloney aboard) but raced new. Will have taken fitness and learning and expect him to go much better today. FIREBREAK (8) won a trial and led at Mackay on debut and was caught late beaten 2L. Strips fitter and will scoot along from the rail. She will be tough to get past. ASTRA STAR (1) resumed here as favourite with a near miss. Won a trial prior and will have come on. Races forward and is a chance. OUTBACK BANDIT (2) resumes and has trialled well. He's likely to race well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bee Two if the betting suggests stable confidence.
