Anticipating a genuine tempo over the 950m journey. BETTER SHOW (3) is a promising filly who made solid progress last season and will be a lot stronger after her long spell. She looked in good nick at a recent trial and revels in wet ground. The market will be your best guide, but she is more than capable of taking this out. BRAVE EDDY (4) was a game runner-up when resuming from a spell and then ploughed through the wet Mareeba track to score a soft win at their recent picnic meeting. This is not much harder, and with 1.5kg less to carry, he can double the dose. SKOGAFOSS (1) ended his last campaign with a brace of wins on this track. He will be a lot stronger this year and would not be a surprise winner fresh up. Watch the markets closely. GREY POWER (5) has a senior hoop back in the saddle so don't write him off. SUGGESTED PLAY: Better Show to win.
