Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Dragon's Snip and Rubunkar. Go wide in the quaddie. TRACK TALE (7) won well in similar at Mackay last time in and has found a rich vein of form. Takes plenty of beating today as well. MASTER SHOWMAN (1) drops back into this after not at all being disgraced in Listed grade at Doomben. Classy enough to notch a win. CHERRY ROSE (9) is another one dropping back into something easier, and rates well enough to play a significant role. EARLY FUSION (8) won as an odds-on pop last time in at Mackay, and while this is harder, he must be considered chasing a sixth-straight triumph. DEMON AWARD (5) was runner-up at the Sunshine Coast last time on rain-affected going and jumps as one of the each-way chances today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Track Tale can make it three wins from her past our starts in this.

Given time to bounce back from latest failure, and could slip under the radar. |
