Solid tempo with Aima Sun going forward from the good draw. BRUTAL SUE (12) balanced up towards the tail off a low draw last time before rattling home to score on the Gold Coast Poly. Strips rock-hard fit and will prove very tough to stop if she can replicate that finishing burst. AIMA SUN (6) was a strong all the way winner three back on the GC Poly. Only even two back at Rocky but bounced back to form when in the market last time. Draws to lead them up again and will take some reeling in if left alone GAMING (5) was back to somewhere near his best when leading them up at Ballina last time, only collared late. Has enough early toe to cross quickly from his wide draw and should give backers another sight. KEEP IT LOKI (9) has turned in two solid efforts on wet decks this prep. Worth considering if he can stick his toe into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Brutal Sue to win.
