Powerful Eagle and Rothesay's Lad will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. BLUISH HUE (7) ran below expectations last time at Ipswich over 1200m, finishing fifth and beaten 2.25 lengths. This is a lot easier and can atone for that latest run. MORE FOR READY (9) settled well back and never threatened when sixth over 1350m at Doomben last time out. Drops back in company and can get the job done against this line-up. CARDIOLOGIST (2) finished second last start over 1400m at Dalby, beaten 0.9 lengths. Draws favourably and is certainly hard to beat in this suitable race. SUKHBIR (3) will be ready to peak now third run back from a spell and is next in line in a race decimated by scratchings. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bluish Hue to salute.
