Expecting a solid pace primarily from Ablett. ABLETT (1) resumed in impressive fashion last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths at Wondai over 1100m, making it 10 wins from 25 starts. The one they have to beat. BORN FEARLESS (4) finished third two runs back at Charleville then improved last time out to score by 1.4 lengths over 1200m at Cunnamulla. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. MAGICAL SLIPPER (2) hit the frame two starts ago at Barcaldine but ran below par last time when eighth over 1200m at Longreach. Has her share of ability and can do a lot better. START STRUTTING (6) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running seventh at Injune. Rates as a place chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ablett to win again.
