A solid tempo is on the cards with Madam Borodina and War Council pushing for the lead ahead of Redlights On and Dalt Jaz. DALT JAZ (2) has a moderate winning strike-rate but did a good job when returning from a break last time at Bowen, finishing second and only 1.3 lengths from the winner at the end of 1000m when he made late ground. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. BANXI (1) resumes from a break of three-and-a-half months. Finished fifth at his most recent appearance over 1800m at Eagle Farm. Key runner fresh. WAR COUNCIL (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth over 1400m at Townsville. Has the class to build on that encouraging effort last start. MADAM BORODINA (3) could be ready to improve out to this distance third up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,1,4,3.
