Good tempo expected with Rizu, Flying Vision and Sorutal rolling forward. ZAYYANO (2) turned in a nice run to finish third over 1650m at Beaudesert after being prominent at the turn. Presents fitter again and the former Victorian is nicely placed to take this out. NAMARA (3) was beaten less than 2L this track/trip and then was only fair to the line here on the turf. Has been threatening a win and she gets another chance. FLYING VISION (9) peaks and disappointed over this trip at Murwillumbah last time, well supported. She made good improvement at Ballina prior and draws low with the blinkers applied for the first time. A much better effort is likely. ALKEBULAN (7) led and held on to place distantly here two back and will find this easier than Ipswich last time. Gets in well with the 3kg claim and is in the mix. THE HOPESTAR (6) maps well and can improve second-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zayyano to win.
