Strong early tempo with Prophesier and Little Ditty leading the way.
GOVERNOR (3) was much better when finishing second here 15 days ago and will find this race a touch easier. The visors replace the blinkers, and now that he is back in form, he can go one better this time. ROC DE RUSSIAN (4) is a former Queenslander making his local debut. He has been placed in 4 of his 6 starts fresh up in the past, and with the aid of a 2kg claim, he should be very competitive. Let the market be your best guide. REAL DIVINE (8) is experiencing a long win drought and might appreciate dropping back to 1100m. Include in all combinations to be safe. REALTIN (7) has yet to break through in 8 starts on this track after making the move from South Australia earlier in the season. He has a fair bit in his favour this time, and he would not be a shock winner. BOY BIG (1) has raced his way into full fitness and form with a last-start second-place finish by a nose here just over 2 weeks ago. He is ready to win another race at short notice. SUGGESTED PLAY: Realtin each way.
