Yukan Rose, Salt Lake Betty and Highground to take up the running at a decent tempo. IMMINENT BOOM (6) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 11 lengths back in seventh over 1200m at Birdsville. Down in the weights and will take some beating this time. BOOMROUX (3) has strung three wins together on the bounce and is racing high on confidence of late. Has to be included in calculations. SALT LAKE BETTY (5) just missed the frame last start when fourth over 1200m at Aramac, beaten 5.5 lengths. Likely contender with strong top-three prospects. BETTA THAN PRESLEY (2) is having his first run since July 6. Has not been out of the money in three first-up runs and did win over 1050m at Rockhampton at the start of last prep. Makes plenty of appeal while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,3,5,2.
