Just a moderate pace anticipated. YEAH COPY (9) went well at the Gold Coast and then won a 55 at Gatton over 1400m and a short quote. Has placed this course/distance and hitting peak fitness he's capable of going back-to-back. HE'SGOTTHESAY (4) resumes in easier and has to be kept very safe. May find it a touch short but has plenty of talent and has trialled well at the Gold Coast. LUDIK (7) is third-up with more to give. Has been settling back but will be running into it aqnd deserves consideration. STRANGLEHOLD (2) is a former Victorian who resumes for the Laming yard. Has won fresh and raced in Stakes grade early doors. The extra gear comes off and he has to be kept very safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Yeah Copy.
