Strong early tempo over this journey looks a certainty. HEROIC CHIEF (5) has switched barns and brings strong provincial form from Victoria. He is on a 23-day return so must be pleasing. He's likely to settle back and come hard. TOKYO SINS (2) has an awkward barrier but has been busting to win at Ipswich in stronger class. She has been kept on the fresh side and gets in well with the 2kg claim. HUSS ON FIRST (7) won the CL2 at Warwick and did about what was expected at Toowoomba following. She's good enough and a bounce wouldn't surprise. MACHINE HEAD (6) also in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Heroic Chief if the betting suggests stable confidence.
