Este Dia and Western Conqueror possess good early speed. ESTE DIA (5) led all the way for a big first-up win at Chinchilla then tried to repeat the feat over today's trip at Beaudesert last start but was swamped late. Rock hard fit now and a clever claim brings him in beautifully. Will give them something to catch. DUBIOUS SIX (7) has been struggling to make his mark of late, albeit in better races than this. On a seven-day back-up and reunites with Kelsey Lenton who gets the best out of this gelding. Worth another chance. SHUT EYE (4) wasn't suited dropping back to 1050m at Inverell last start and was never a factor. Twice a winner at this distance. Perfectly graded to return to form. PURPLE ESPRIT (3) has been kept fresh since a decent fourth over 1100m at Armidale five weeks ago. Honest mare who should be about the money again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to be with Este Dia.
