Slick tempo with Badge to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. HERE HE LOOMS (1) is heading the right way on the picnic circuit this prep and fought all the way to the line when finishing second at Blackall a fortnight ago. He is ready now for the step up to a mile and is good enough to take this out. VANCOUVER LIGHTS (10) was a winner at Moranbah 4 starts back when clearing his maiden status and is heading towards that sort of form again after running second at Mount Isa last week. He jumps up sharply to a mile and should be right in the finish again. SAINT MARTIN (4) did not come up in this campaign and has changed stables since his last run at the Gold Coast 4 weeks ago on their poly track. He has also been a late scratching for his new connections. If he can recapture some of the good form he had earlier in his career a win would not be out of the question. Watch the markets closely. FANTWA (3) is getting fitter in each of his 3 starts back from a spell. 2 of his 3 career wins have come here on his home track. Don't underestimate him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fantwa each-way.
