Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Meltdown a potential leader. THINKING GOLD (4) has hit the top-four in all four runs this preparation and looks to be working up to another win. Can make his presence felt. PROCHESTER (3) strips fitter second-up from the break and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Key runner. CASTELLO GRANDE (2) has won over this track and trip and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be featuring in the finish. CARDIOLOGIST (6) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running fourth at Dalby. Can improve and worth including at odds. MELTDOWN (1) can also contest for a place. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Thinking Gold.
