Looks a keen contest with Zelezny and Capricornus pressing for the lead with Starward and Billy Boom close at hand. BILLY BOOM (5) won a trial before being shut out of a gap fresh up at the Sunshine Coast 19 days ago. He will find this easier, and with the advantage of the pole position, he can set the record straight. On top. STARWARD (2) only battled over the final stages at the Sunshine Coast in the same race as the top pick, finishing third. He is better placed over 1100m for now, and with Justin P Stanley in the saddle, he is among the hardest to beat. MISS ELOTAN (10) was showing some promise at the trials and is heading the right way in a couple of starts. She will be peaking third up, and an extra 150m is ideal. Each way claims this time. ZELEZNY (6) stuck on gamely as favourite when finishing runner-up at Mackay 10 days ago. He seems to prefer a wet track, and with conditions to suit, he can have a say in the outcome of this race. CAPRICORNUS (1) finished an encouraging third on debut at Mackay and never gave up in the run to the line that day. Stick with him on an each-way basis. SUGGESTED PLAY: Billy Boom to win.
