A keen early contest with Heroic Miss and Shot Of Whiskey bth showing pace. The well-related MASTER SHOWMAN (1) (full to 4xG1 winner and stallion Trapeze Artist) was a touch disappointing last time out but go on the two strong victories to start the campaign. Has placed over this track and trip and gets 3kg weight relief with the claim. Can bounce right back to form here. FORTUNEER (11) returned in fine fashion with a solid second on the Sunny Coast and is a winner around this circuit. Strips fitter second-up and has to be included. SHOT OF WHISKEY (12) wasn't disgraced in town last time out and the form prior was full of merit. Shapes as a leading contender. ROLL UP (5) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Master Showman to win.
