Lots of speed predominantly from Kuia Ma, Hurkle Durkle and Insain Lady.
KUIA MA (2) did some early work after a poor jump then found plenty in the latter stages to hang on for second when resuming over this distance at Ipswich last start. Kept fresh since that return a month ago. Brings better form here than the key rivals and looks a great chance to go one better. RED MOON RISING (9) hasn't fired since a placing on debut here last November. Steps up in distance today and can improve without surprising in a race that lacks depth. HURKLE DURKLE (4) went close two back over this distance at Kilcoy then knocked up badly at the end of 1100m at Toowoomba most recently. Tongue tie goes on which may explain that last failure. Can improve back up to her preferred trip. EVERYREADY BUNNY (12) returns from a 12-month spell in a new stable. No trial form to assist but it is worth noting the blinkers go on for the first time. Betting watch advised. INDAMOUSE (1) can do better back in trip off a five-week let-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kuia Ma to win.
