Expecting a genuine tempo. DOWNEY (5) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.2 lengths over 1200m at this track. Boasts four wins here and will be fitter again. In the right yard and can go on with it. WARILLA GORILLA (4) won a CL2 here by 5.4L over 1200m and then was well backed again winning a CL4 over 1400m at Dalby. Keeps Butler and positions forward. He's capable of delivering the hat-trick. BUTT HEADS (8) is busting to win and there was little in it in a 60 here last time. Maps for the run of the race and tumbling in weight should be right in it. KINGSLAND (7) led them up and was beaten 1L in the WG race at Dalby. He can't be ruled out. GALWAY HUSSLER (1) will find this easier than Doomben and she took out a 70 at Dalby the one before. SUGGESTED PLAY: Downey appeals most.
