Expecting Born To Be Alive to take up the running with The Khan and Aureate close at hand. CHARMED DESTINY (12) has been mixing his distances of late with limited success. Best recent effort was a runner-up cheque three back over 2100m at Tuncurry. Doesn't win often but in this modest affair he looks tough to beat. DO IT FOR YOU (8) returned from a five-week let-up and did a fair job to be beaten under two lengths over the mile at Grafton recently. Strips fitter and the longer trip suits so with a few gear chances today he is right in contention. Forgive the last start failure of BORN TO BE ALIVE (13) on the Gold Coast poly. Just missed in a BM50 here at this distance when resuming the run prior. Must be included. AUREATE (3) has had two runs since coming up from Victoria, the latest effort over 1800m at Inverell encouraging. In the mix. MERAPI (9) has been racing well all prep and from a good draw should be in the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Charmed Destiny each-way.
