Only a small field with Properleigh likely to find a comfortable lead. MR OREO (5) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1250m at Cairns, scoring by a nose. Looks well placed and he can go on with it. PROPERLEIGH (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at Home Hill, beaten 13 lengths into seventh. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. SHEZA CHIQUITITA (4) turned in another moderate effort last start when 5.5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1250m at Cairns. Better than recent efforts suggest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Oreo can go again.
