Good tempo expected with Dupont, Aima Sun and Is Sweet rolling forward. AIMA SUN (5) was eight weeks between runs when midfield in open company over 1300m at Rockhampton last start. Strips fitter and this is a big class drop. Sure to give a good account. GOLDEN BREEZE (12) has been his own worst enemy of late, missing the kick regularly and setting unlikely tasks. Has ability and if he jumps cleanly from the inside stall can certainly win this. HARDLEY GREY (1) won two back at Grafton then wasn't far away at the same track over this trip in a BM66 recently. Races well here and in this much weaker race he is a live chance despite the big weight. IS SWEET (8) was back in form at Dalby last time. Should go well again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to be with Aima Sun.
