Born To Be Alive and Mishani Reactor to take up the running at a strong tempo. A small but even field. MAD ANA (3) is a very fit mare who returned to form last start, battling on well for third after racing on the pace in a BM66 over 2020m at Murwillumbah. Jumps up in the weights but this is easier. Sure to be in the finish again. GOOGAZ (13) is not the most reliable conveyance but his second over 1800m two back at the Gold Coast is a solid form reference. Placed two from two at today's trip so he must go down as one of the better hopes. BOKUDEN (6) went back from a wide gate at Beaudesert most recently and was never a hope. New to this trip but should give a good account. MISHANI REACTOR (1) has been freshened up since an easy win in a similar race here a month ago. Hard one to rule out. BORN TO BE ALIVE (5) bolted in at Kilcoy last start. Will go forward and take some catching again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mad Ana just gets the verdict.
