The speedy Always Split Tens should find the front with Flamingo Beach and How Ya Been Anyway on his heels. HOW YA BEEN ANYWAY (3) rolled to the lead but then faded in the straight when finishing 10th of 12 in 1800m Sunshine Coast Mdn last start. Has placed in five of his past eight starts though and is worth another chance here up to 2000m third-up with Noel Callow aboard. Looks a winnable race for him. FLAMINGO BEACH (2) is a mare by Tarzino and steps to this distance for the first time. Open to more improvement in her third start and shapes as a genuine hope of last-start fifth in Doomben 1660m Mdn. MINISTER GARRETT (4) has been unplaced in three starts this preparation but looks better suited up to this distance range having placed three times between 2100m and 2220m in the past. SMOKIN MATCH (5) should be fitter again third-up and has top-three claims after finishing fourth at this track last start in 1540m Mdn on June 18. BETTER THAN LOVE (8) reared at the start but worked home nicely for 3rd in that same 1540m Mdn on June 18. From nice draw is worth consideration here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with How Ya Been Anyway to win.
