Solid tempo anticipated with Mooloolaba heading them off.
MORE TROUBLE (2) has been plying his trade in metro contests of late and will appreciate the drop back in company here. Gets Cormack on board from a low draw and should be right there when the whips are cracking. PRINCE AKEEM (3) is a consistent conveyance who has remarkably hit the top-five at his past 16 starts. Has to be included. MOOLOOLABA (4) loves this track and trip with five wins and four placings from just 11 attempts. Wiggins sticks following that last-start victory and shouldn't be underestimated. MARCH MADNESS (7) has put back-to-back wins together and is racing high on confidence of late. In the mix. WHIRLWIND (5) is usually thereabouts and looks one for the exotics players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,3,4,7.
