A race that lacks early pressure. SMART AS SMART (1) has been plying his trade in town of late and will appreciate the drop back in company here. Gets a stack of weight off with the 3kg claim and maps ideally for this contest from gate two. Will prove very hard to toss. MAKAMAE (8) has a handy record over this track and trip with a win and two placings from four attempts and will be rock-hard fit for this. Can make her presence felt. ROCKED (11) hasn't been too far away in recent outings and gets in well at the weights with the claim. In the mix. WHATJEUDOIN' (4) ran an improved race finishing midfield last start at Toowoomba. Next in line in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Smart As Smart.
