Targeted, King's Halo and Ellie's Dream can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. TARGETED (6) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 3 lengths as public elect over 1250m here. Krysten Swaffer scored on him last time and retains the mount. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well. KING'S HALO (4) proved too strong two runs ago at this circuit. Couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1400m at Townsville, beaten 7 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. TURN BIRD (1) scored two back at Mackay but was below his best last time when sixth over 1400m at Townsville. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. ROTH 'N' BUBBLE (5) finished second last time over 1000m at Townsville, beaten 1.4 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing and can run a bold race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Targeted.
