Without a great deal of early pace evident The Big Ticket may lead the way over Colorado Tycoon. THUNDER LIGHTS (7) registered his third minor placing from seven career runs when an even third over the mile at Wyong recently. Less depth to this maiden, particularly with a few key scratchings. Great chance to open the account. PRINCE OF WANTS (5) enjoyed getting through the heavy ground at Taree last start, working home into third over 1262m. Plenty of improvement to come at just his third race start. Looks a key runner in a thin race. AMAZIGH TORQUE (8) opened her career with a couple of minor placings then lacked the dash required to be competitive over 1200m at the Sunshine Coast most recently. Looking for this sort of journey now so a better run is likely. FRICTIONAL FORCE (13) is fitter for three runs back from a spell and might fire up with the blinkers back on. CHERRY DREAM (16) is finding the line well so a longer trip today looks a good move. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Thunder Lights.
