The pace looks very strong with plenty of speed engaged. FITZROY BOY (2) missed the placings first up recently but was not too far from the winner when fourth over 1000m at Goondiwindi. Races well when second-up and is likely to feature. XUANFENG (11) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 1.3 lengths back in second over 1100m at this track. Has the class to go one better. KOGA NINJA (9) is back at the races for the first time since October 18. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1000m at Nanango. Comes here with definite top-three claims. CAPIANA (3) should be at peak fitness now and looks close to a win after improving to place last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fitzroy Boy to progress second up.
