Campai and Zoe Shark will likely pair off in front.
VIALE (7) led all the way for an effortless win over 1100m at Gatton two back before struggling in a good race in town last start. Speedy mare who should enjoy this sharp journey and looks nicely placed to bounce back to form. STATE IN TEXAS (3) sat just off the speed then showed a nice change of gears to get home when resuming in a BM65 over this course and distance last time out. The winner of two from three when second-up and four from eight at this specialist trip. Has the right credentials. CAMPAI (1) last raced five weeks ago when she let down in good style to get up for second in a BM70 here at this distance. Three-time winner over the Ipswich 800m. Goes best for Courtney Bellamy who regains the mount. Genuine contender. BEAUTY BOUND (6) has transferred from Phillip Stokes to Declan Maher and brings solid SA form to the table. In the mix fresh from an eight-week let-up. ZOE SHARK (5) goes like the wind and from a perfect draw will be hard to catch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Viale and State In Texas.
