Good tempo expected with Set The Sails, Sanbano and Bold Feeling rolling forward.
KIRIKAN (5) doesn't win out of turn but has hit the top-five in 12 of his past 13 starts and is usually around the money. Will be ready to peak now third-up from the break and Wiggins stays on board following the past couple of placings. Can get a well-deserved victory. BLAZERRO (1) got the job done over further ground at Mackay last time out and again gets the benefit of Martyn's claim. Looms as the main danger. READY TIGER (2) has been racing consistently at Townsville of late and should be hitting the line with gusto. MOEGREEN (6) goes well for hoop Cormack who has two wins and three placings from just six steers. Cannot be underestimated. BOLD FEELING (4) best of the rest in a competitive affair. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,1,2,6.
