|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Good early pace headed by Surfers Royale, Becamo and No Name Frank, with Cracker Essgee and Borrelli in their slipstream. NO NAME FRANK (5) stuck to his task gamely when finishing fourth here just over 5 weeks ago and was close up in third at Ipswich before that. He has the blinkers off for the first time and with a slight dip in grade, he will be hard to hold out. RIVER RIBBLE (6) did not run on as expected when making his Queensland debut nearly 2 weeks ago and did not help himself by making a slow start. He is better than that and from the pole position, he can improve quickly. Each-way. LION CLASS (4) is a very consistent gelding who is very competitive at this level. He was third in a tougher field last time out and will be among the hardest to beat here. ITALIAN DANCER (16) is a progressive gelding who is bred to improve with more racing and time. He would not mind some cut in the ground and has each-way claims here. BONJOUR RUPERT (15) was only beaten by a nose at Ipswich just over 8 weeks ago. Include in all multiples to be safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: No Name Frank to win.
