Expecting War Too All to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. RUBAAHY (5) was below her best last time when sixth over 1300m at Toowoomba, beaten 5 lengths. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is worth another chance. ROXSET (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1010m at Ballina, beaten 4.5 lengths. Must raise the bar but she can bounce back. TWILIGHT STEPS (4) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth over 1400m at Gold Coast. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FULL STRENGTH (1) finished out of the placings last start when resuming on turf at Kilcoy over 1200m. On a synthetic track for the first time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rubaahy goes on top.
