Make It So to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. MAKE IT SO (2) returned to the winner's list with a bang last start, taking off a fair way from home then kicking right away for an 8.8 length win over 1000m at Ballina. The extra 100m here is the query but based on that latest effort she is sure to prove hard to beat again. BRAVELY (1) is a huge threat coming back to country racing. Opened this prep with a couple of excellent efforts in Brisbane before struggling over 1200m at Doomben last time. Coming back to 1100m is the key - he has won two from four at the trip. An ideal draw adds to the appeal. SNOW FALCON (7) was a shade disappointing in a 1200m BM58 last time out. Last raced over this sort of trip three back when successful at Grafton. Right in the mix. JULY (4) has been freshened up and can improve on his Australian debut seven weeks ago. IOBJECT (5) returned in good order at Grafton last start. Should go well again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Make It So and taking a quinella with Bravely.
