Zia Maria is the likely leader at a slick tempo. HELL OR HEAVEN (2) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 1200m at Ipswich. Bold showing expected again with the blinkers added. FINAL CRUSADE (1) was well fancied last time and wasn't disgraced when second over 1100m at Toowoomba after being prominent at the corner. Worth another chance. PRIVATE MAX (3) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1000m at Sunshine Coast on debut. Gets some weight relief with the claim and is sure to be thereabouts. PROFITEUR'S FIL (4) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten a long neck, over 800m at Ipswich on debut. Will have taken benefit from that race day experience and has definite top-three prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hell Or Heaven to go one better.
