Sutherland can take up the running at a strong tempo. Genuine tempo with Sutherland likely to find herself in front.
COINCIDE (2) started a move before the turn then went home too well last start over 1100m at this track. Has placed twice over today's journey from four attempts. Might be giving them a start but can finish right over the top. BEFORE ANYONE ELSE (3) filled a minor placing first-up over this distance at Kilcoy then struggled in town last time. Cherry ripe at the third run back and is in a far more suitable contest this afternoon. KING OF GERALDINE (6) returns after an eight-month spell. Often needs a run to show some form but a recent trial win here suggests he forward enough to do some damage. MASHEAN (10) led all the way for an arrogant maiden win over this trip at Warwick last start. Rarely far away and she looks smart enough to compete at this higher level. SLEEPY JOE (8) is a consistent sprinter ready to run a big race third-up out of the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Coincide.
