Track: SOFT 5     Rail: True.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Meltdown. LINWAR (8) registered his first win last start over 1400m at Gatton, getting home by 3.5 lengths. Hannah Richardson was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Nicely placed to double the win tally. MELTDOWN (2) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 0.9 lengths last time over 1400m at Sunshine Coast. Comes down a level this time and has claims on his best form. KEY COMPONENT (11) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but just found one better over 1990m at Ipswich, beaten a long neck. Has her share of ability and is a definite top-three prospect. PROPOSE (12) placed over this track and trip two back and is usually thereabouts. In the mix for some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 8,2,11.12.
