Arancia is expected to lead at a slick tempo. LADY DE VEGA (8) was well supported and narrowly beaten last time over 1000m at Home Hill. Has made good improvement at Cairns prior and tumbles in weight. After many outs gets her chance to break through. ARANCIA (4) was better again when beaten 1.8L this track/trip behind Exodas. Peaks and will get every chance racing forward. WILLOW CAPRI (7) has switched from a NSW barn and has been freshened. She brings a recent trial win at the track and has shown enough to keep onside. THE SOLICITOR (5) switched from a Victorian barn and needed the run at Kilcoy on an 18-day return. The longer trip should suit, and Cormack is a positive jockey booking. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady De Vega appeals most.
