Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. SEA ME DANCE (13) was run off her legs first-up over 1200m at Doomben but did work through the gears in the final stages to be beaten just 3.6 lengths. That was her first run since arriving in the Marcus Wilson stable. Far better placed out to this trip and against modest opposition she looks the testing material. LAUNCHER (1) has thrived since landing in the Allan Chau barn this prep, filling minor placings on each occasion. Very good effort to hold on for second over this trip at Eagle Farm last time. Looms as the obvious danger. ON ANY TUESDAY (11) weakened late but was only beaten 3.6 lengths when resuming over 1280m at Muswellbrook recently. Draws a far better gate and needs this trip so watch for sharp improvement. SHARE TRADER (14) struggled over a longer trip at Doomben last start. Lightly raced three-year-old who can improve back to this journey in an inferior maiden. ICEWATER (4) caught the eye at Lismore last time and will be tough to hold out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sea Me Dance and Launcher hard to split - back both if the market allows.
