Cracking tempo with Dizzy Dee and Bad Forest leading the way. WINCHMAN (1) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a narrow second at Ipswich two starts back then scored last time out over this trip at the Gold Coast. Gets an important 3kg claim and can repeat the dose. DANCE GAVIN DANCE (6) never posed a threat two back in the G3 Gold Coast Guineas but was much better placed last time when finishing third at Murwillumbah. Gets weight off with the slight rise in grade and will appreciate reuniting with Peisley. BAD FOREST (5) didn't threaten at Doomben last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Mixing his form but is one to consider. BRING ME SAKI (4) has been below his best in his last two but has earlier form that measures up. Draws the A1 and is worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Winchman gets the nod.
