O'caldino and Alfa Dundee look to take it up. O'CALDINO (2) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths away in third over 2450m at Beaudesert. Tackling a more suitable race so he is one of the main contenders. ALFA DUNDEE (4) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home by a neck over 2020m at Toowoomba. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BRAVE BOY (7) was beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth in a 2000m contest at Sunshine Coast Poly three weeks ago. Has his share of ability and is a definite top-three prospect against this line-up. MEDICAL AUTOCRAT (3) best of the rest in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: O'Caldino to get a well-deserved victory.
