Hurkle Durkle is expected to burn across and lead from the wide alley. REGAL RINA (11) is a four-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track. Strips fitter now and is capable of taking this out. TWO MINDS (1) finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1100m at Toowoomba on debut 11 months ago and has been kept under wraps since. Will be better for that race experience and another bold showing is on the cards. ARCTIC BRIGHT (10) has been freshened since finishing fourth over 1350m at Wyong. Kept up to the mark with a recent Doomben trial. Rates well on best form and a bold showing is expected. SIKKA (9) ran below expectations last start, finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths at Toowoomba over 1100m. Worth another chance from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 11,1,10,9.
