Pace looks to be genuine with Notforthemoney and Viper Room matching motors in advance of Tiger Jim and Stellar Legend. PROVISEUR (2) has had one blip in a string of decent efforts at Rockhampton. Draws inside on a 5-day return, and Wiggins sticking aboard is a decent push for his chances. Has the inside gate today and might be able to settle closer. NOTFORTHEMONEY (7) started at $5 last time at Rockhampton and ran well below expectations. Placed there three back, and here after, and a much better effort is likely. STELLAR LEGEND (5) brings a string of placings and went close over 1800m at Bowen last time. Has to push forward from an awkward barrier but he can feature if things go his way. SUMICH (4) peaks and settled too far back at this track/trip last time. He was in the market, and three back led first-up and was beaten a whisker at Rockhampton over 1000m. Draws wide but Cormack rides, and that's a positive. Well in the mix with average luck. SUGGESTED PLAY: Proviseur appeals most.
