For Valour should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. STADIUM OF LIGHT (6) was quickly back to his best belting the 60 graders at Cairns by 4.5L over 1900m. He was heavily backed and can go on with it drawn to advantage. MISSION HOUSE (8) was a big 65 winner at Prairie. He was even better at Home Hill prior at this distance. Maps well and is a chance. MAJOR ARTIE (2) has been racing in rich Qualities. Steps back in trip and Butler is a positive jockey booking. Carries top weight but is much better suited. BLUE SWIMMER (10) is racing well and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Stadium Of Light.
