Solvent to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. SOLVENT (2) is a lightly tried 4YO gelding who made an encouraging return when pressing forward and sticking on well for second over 1000m at the Sunshine Coast 10 days ago. With that run under the belt and natural improvement to come, he can go one better in this. SUPER LUCK DRAGON (5) is a former Victorian who resumes for a new stable and has shown plenty of talent at the jump-outs, but has yet to put it together on race day. Don't risk him. SECRET SUSPICION (6) was better than the result suggests on debut at Gatton after racing greenly, and with the blinkers added, she is entitled to take significant improvement from the experience. Include. COOL THOUGHTS (7) returns from a spell after a quiet recent trial for a new trainer and she has the talent to feature fresh, while PRIDE OF NATIONS (8) showed encouraging improvement at Inverell last time and in a field that lacks any real depth, she could be the value runner capable of sneaking into the placings. SUGGESTED PLAY: Solvent is the one to beat.
