Hellish and Amore Veloce to take up the running at a strong tempo.
MINTAKA LAD (6) was a bit easy in betting but defied the drift to charge home late and miss by a narrow margin last start in a Class 4 here at this trip. Track and distance specialist who draws a better gate today. Carried 60kgs to victory here last prep and is ideally placed to repeat the effort. HURTS SO GOOD (5) was most impressive winning first-up at Eagle Farm then took on a better race at this track a fortnight ago and wasn't disgraced. Well weighted after Lang's claim and at the third run back should be ready to peak. MAXIMUM VORTEX (1) was three lengths off the leader at the 100m but still got up in an astonishing win over 1110m here recently. This looks a shade tougher but the longer trip suits and a 39% winning strike rate cannot be ignored. READY FOR ANYTHING (12) has been about the mark all prep and should be at his best at the fourth run back. ZOUPERB (11) rated highly in a return to form here last time. Must be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mintaka Lad is ready to win.
