Solid tempo likely from Darn Hot Lady and Back On De Quo. DANCE GAVIN DANCE (7) lightly raced gelding adept in all conditions. Went forward when he made it two straight wins with a convincing victory over 1015m at this track. Maps well and ploughed through the heavy going here two-back. Respect. SPIRIT OF BRODIE (6) has been racing well and can turn the tables here fourth-up. Closed quickly on the back-up with a tough third over 1200m at the Gold Coast. Goes well at this distance range and expect to see him a little closer in the run today. Top-three contender. MARATHIA (11) consistent mare drawn out again for this. Cruised across from the wide gate and never gave up with a gritty fifth over 1200m at the Gold Coast. Will appreciate the claim. Each way. THE LUCKY ALIEN (4) ran a strong race first up at Ipswich, then went to town and pulled up with a slow post-race recovery when seventh over 1000m at Eagle Farm. Can bounce back quickly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,6,11,4.
