Either Do It For You or Kovanos should find the front and dictate terms. KOVANOS (5) won at Ballina and then spiked her figures when beaten 1.2L at the Sunshine Coast over 2200m. She will push forward and has weight relief at this level. In a top Brisbane barn and rates to bounce back. Stablemate DARK THINKER (7) peaks and sits down in the weights. She was building nicely before the latest and has more to offer. MAURIZMA (3) found the grade a bit rich at Doomben but just missed at Ballina prior. Gets in well with the 3kg claim and is a player. Stablemate ONE THING COUNTS (2) has been plain at the provincials his last two. Won this grade at Ballina prior and may appreciate the step up in distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Kovanos.
