Legin is the likely leader and should be able to get there comfortably. PIERONIMO (2) improved again to finish just 1.1 lengths from the winner over 2200m at Sunshine Coast, racing forward. He's in good hands and will present at peak fitness. Well placed at country level and should be winning. SONDER (5) didn't have the best of luck twice here over this distance and then pulled up with an issue at Tamworth. Maps well on a 6-day return, and he can form the quinella if he puts his best foot forward. ALASKA DE LUNE (6) stepped up to this distance at Ipswich and won her Maiden comfortably. Didn't get warm on the Gold Coast poly track following at big odds. Rolls up on a 5-day return so must be pleasing. Better back on the grass and she can get some of the cash. FLEE WITH ME (11) was much over this distance 9 days ago at Lismore. He will be around the mark on that effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pieronimo to win.
