Slick tempo with Spicy Legend to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. THUNDER MANIA (8) started in the market in a slightly higher grade race at Beaudesert last week (Bm65) when finishing 7th after covering ground. Hasn't won for a long time but has drawn well and on best form could represent each-way value. GHOST HUNTER (2) will be fitter for this after first-up 4th in Bm65 on the Gold Coast synthetic track on April 27. Racing well and gets in nicely with the 3kg claim. DON'T DISS AROUND (3) was a luckless 4th as favourite in 1100m Gatton C4 two starts ago before hitting the line hard for 3rd at this track in 1200m Bm65. Can make his presence felt. SPICY LEGEND (4) has shown talent in his 10 starts and has been readied for his return with two trials. Won in this grade two starts ago at this track and should give a good sight. Big watch on SUPEROKAY (11) first-up. Won on debut at Murwillumbah and again started short-priced favourite when failing at Eagle Farm in January. No shock to see him return a winner. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thunder Mania each-way.
