A strong gallop is likely with Suisse Scandal and Powerful Warrior taking up the running, closely attended by Oystercatcher and Harlequin Field. OYSTERCATCHER (7) progressed nicely last time out to score by one length over 1200m at Kilcoy. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. KNOWITALL FRANK (4) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a neck, over 1400m at Goondiwindi when coming back from a break. Leading player again. TRUSTY BANDIT (9) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when tenth over 1400m at Rockhampton. Finds a suitable assignment and can return to winning ways. LIFT'N'MEHIGHER (10) is backing up nine days after she was safely held in eighth over 1200m at Ipswich against better opposition. Can make amends. FRED'S MEMORY (2) looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oystercatcher to go back-to-back.
