Lets Dance Jandy and Craiglea Bronte should set a strong tempo. DAIMYO (4) showed plenty of talent when trained in NSW and did not take long to show his best since shifting to the local Nick Walsh stable earlier in the year, scoring here nearly 4 weeks ago by over a length. He stays in the same grade, and even with 5kg more to carry, he can double the dose. CANNY BE BETTER (2) is normally very consistent and carried on with that trend when finishing third fresh up at Mackay just over a month ago. He strips fitter and with the benefit of a 3kg claim, he won't be far away. NICCI DE ROSA (8) finished fourth fresh up at Chinchilla when settled back further than expected. She normally improves quickly with racing and should finish a lot closer this time. MORE STYLISH (9) won at Mackay in her penultimate start before not having much luck here last time out when copping a check. She has won twice over this shorter trip, and is an each-way threat again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Daimyo to win.
