Expecting a strong gallop with Wild Beau and Zourata taking up the running over Brat. ZOURATA (2) did not run up to expectations on Saturday and will be backing up quickly here. Don't drop her. WILD BEAU (3) is a very capable gelding on his day and has come of age in this prep, racing through the grades winning his last 2 starts on the bounce. The hat-trick is not beyond him. DAMO DAYZ (4) has yet to find his good Queensland form in 3 local starts. He drops in weight, and in a small field, he can figure in the top 4. Stick with him. BRAT (5) can mix his form, but is not out of this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zourata should be the one to beat.
