Zouhope is the probable leader in the small field. COLLEANO (1) has switched yards since scoring by 0.7 lengths at Warwick over 1500m on April 28. Sure to take beating. CASH ARTIST (5) registered a strong win at Mackay two runs ago then finished second over 1800m there last start, beaten a nose. Key runner. ZOUHOPE (4) is a last-start winner over the shorter trip of 1400m at Cloncurry, getting home by a neck. Will appreciate the big weight drop so he is capable of another strong effort. FIRST MAN (3) improved last time out, finishing 0.7 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1560m at Mackay. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Colleano can win again.
