Pace looks genuine from Yes I'm Ugly, Zarippa and Acedrod, closely attended by Mr Wandji. GALEKA (4) was thereabouts last time out when second at Gold Coast over 1400m, beaten a neck. Comes down a level this time. Will be hard to stop. TOUCH OF GRACIE (5) tackled a 1200m race at Ipswich when fresh from a spell last start and finished tenth. Better for that run so she is one of the leading contenders. HORRIBLE HANK (1) did a good job last start to finish second at Thangool over 1200m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has been in solid form this campaign with three wins to his name. One of the main contenders. MR WANDJI (3) continued the good recent form when he finished just 1.2 lengths away in third last time out over 1400m at this track. Nathan Fazackerley goes well on this six-year-old and is back on top today. Solid claims on best form. YES I'M UGLY (8) fitter again and drawn the widest but has good speed to overcome the gate, capable of a solid race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Trifecta 4,5,1,3.
