Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. IMPRESSIONISM (2) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 1400m at Townsville after a win there at the previous outing. Has the ability to return to the winner's list. CYCLONE COCO (3) wound up strongly in the run home last start to register an impressive win over 1250m at Cairns. Comes here in the right frame of mind so he should play a major role again. PRO FORMA (4) missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1000m at Bowen, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Has his share of ability and is in the mix on best. RED HOT LIZZIE (7) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by a head over 1000m at Bowen. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. YOROKOBI (9) never came on when sixth last start at Bowen but is down in the weights today. Chance for a place. SUGGESTED PLAY: Impressionism to bounce back to winning form.
