Pace only fair with Gas Brigade rolling to the lead ahead of Not My Problem and Casterly Rock. CASTERLY ROCK (1) impressed from the back beaten 1.5L this trip and Doomben and then raced favourite at the Sunshine Coast and was plainer boxing on to place. Has the blinkers on again and the extra metres should hold no fears. NOT MY PROBLEM (12) peaks and her narrow defeat at Port Macquarie two back stacks right up. Likely had excuses at Coffs Harbour last time and you'd expect her to run the 1800m right out. GAS BRIGADE (6) is in a leading metro barn and he's raced in stronger at Doomben his last two. Led and went close at the Sunshine Coast prior over a mile and that would see him in the finish. WEONA REDWOOD (10) comes out of the same Doomben contest and will be better for it. He's also in good hands and will get every chance from an inside barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Casterly Rock.
