Looks a solid tempo with Little Pinker finding the front. LITTLE PINKER (4) built on a near miss at this track with a dominant 3L win as favourite over 1200m at Thangool. Draws the widest but has a key jockey switch to Wiggins. Should be winning again. ZAYA (7) is fast and will use the inside barrier. Just missed here in easier before the spell and carries 3kg less. She can give a sight. LA PETITE MAISON (2) found one better over 1000m at Townsville, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Wiggins is off, but Cormack is a positive replacement. Has his share of ability and can make the finish. STANDARD GLADIATOR (8) responded to the blinkers when leading and winning a Townsville Maiden. Has a senior hoop aboard today and will be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Little Pinker to win.
