Third Master, Brand New and Tsunami to take up the running at a strong tempo. Looks a good race for TSUNAMI (3). Turned in a much better run at Townsville last time and on the quick back up. Yet to fire here but a repeat of last run in this line-up would see him go close. VERBALIZE (1) is one of many who raced at the picnics last time but unlike most he was a winner over 1350m at Mt Garnet. That was his first run for the new yard and although this tougher confidence is back and can go close again. EYELEFTIT (6) is fitter for two runs back and will find this easier. First run for a new yard and will be winding up late this sharper trip. THIRD MASTER (2) has been safely held at Mt Garnet his last two but the form prior is good for this. Has run well here and gets a chance to find form. STARMEIRA (7) has some solid runs here and gets her chance to improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Tsunami.
