Genuine tempo from Legend Of Zorro leading Tricky Beans. LEGEND OF ZORRO (1) has been in solid form on the picnic circuits in the area over shorter trips, and he should relish the step up to a mile here. He is nicely placed in this grade, and the 3kg claim will bring his weight down to a competitive level. Hard to beat. BORS (4) he needed both of his runs back from a spell for a new trainer. Justin P Stanley replaces an apprentice, and if there is some cut in the ground, he can turn his firm right around and win this. MAURICE'S MEDAD (3) seems to prefer the better surfaces and only battled in a tougher field at Toowoomba on a wet track there 6 days ago. He steps back up to a mile and can bounce straight back into the money. YUBETIDO (6) was narrowly beaten into third at Mackay 10 days ago when finishing third over 1200m. His record over a mile is much better, and he is good enough to take this out. GET WHAT YOU GIVE (2) is a consistent gelding at this level and will be trying a mile for the first time. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bors each-way.
