Track: GOOD      

ITS ELECTRIFYING (8) is working towards another win having progressed off a fourth from this barrier in the Queensland Derby consolation before a second after leading here last week. Draws for a trail and if the gaps come he can strike. VINSANITY (1) has ground to make up on Its Electrifying through last week's midfield effort but draws much better. Also came from wide when placed here prior so is a player from the inside barrier. DARIN (6) is an in-form gelding who made it back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance when he came from the back row and raced parked before scoring by 2m. Chance to land the hat trick. IRON CLAD (7) deserves respect after working from this barrier but sticking on to place last start.
