Expecting One More Bout to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. BRASS MONKEYS (1) good type with his hoof on the till third-up. Never surrendered with the 60kg for a narrow second over 1200m at Corowa. Blinkers come off and can go one better from the inside gate. TOUGH AS STONE (2) bounced off his good first-up fourth with a dominant Maiden win over 1200m at Corowa. Comes to his home track and looks to have further upside. ONE MORE BOUT (7) back in trip after he had a torrid run with a fading ninth over 1605m at the Sapphire Coast. Can stalk the speed and close quickly. Each way. COOL AS POPEYE (8) resumes from a lengthy break. Won well over the 1300m here last November, and struggled in her subsequent runs. Back without a trial and can take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brass Monkeys can get the better of Tough As Stone.
