Wolfgang and I'm Stellar can lead the small field. Another competitive race. ELLIBABY (7) was having first try for the Bell yard and immediately off the mark fresh scoring at Yeppoon. Fitter and worth following up. WOLFGANG (3) was a Rocky winner two back then led and faded last time at Warwick. Speedy type drawn the fence and will take catching. DARK GLEAM (2) was safely held in a below par run in richer company at Rocky last time. Has the claim and a low draw. Worth another chance. STECARA (6) got home to score first try here last time and can measure up again. ARMSTRONG BAY (4) is back in form with a Longreach win last time and wasn't far away only try here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Ellibaby.
