Expecting a solid tempo set up by Missin' De Quo crossing from the outside stall. MIND OVER MATTER (16) returns a gelding and makes his stable debut for the McGovern camp. Showed positive signs in his debut prep in NSW and this should be his easiest assignment to date. Will need some luck from the wide draw but is expected to be very competitive. SILVERTURN (6) has returned in good order this prep, finding the frame here in her two runs back. Peaking now and is an obvious threat. ADAJ (9) caught the eye first-up at Townsville when warming nicely late to earn a minor cheque. Drawn much kinder this time and can give this a big shake. WEBS (8) was better last time at Ewan. Similar effort here makes her competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mind Over Matter to win.
