Aye Eye Boom should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest.
PUROSANGUE (5) missed the kick fresh up at Gatton just over 3 weeks ago and just had to use up a touch too much energy to get handy that day. He will be better for that run and only needs to get it right at the start to be hard to hold out. REVALENE (6) bounced back to winning form in his first start on this track a fortnight ago, continuing the good strike rate that the Gollan stable has on this circuit. Stick with him. AYE EYE BOOM (9) gave a good sight in front when finishing runner-up by a neck at Beaudesert just over 3 weeks ago. She slides down in class, and with 230m less to travel, she is good enough to go one better. DRUMS OF WAR (8) needed his fresh-up run at Ipswich for a new trainer and normally improves with a run under his belt. He will find this company more to his liking, and the 3kg claim will help offset his weight rise. A better effort is on the cards. RUMI STAR (12) has changed stables since last racing in April. He has ability and the market will be a good guide. SUGGESTED PLAY: Purosangue will improve quickly and can take this out.
