Broadbeach Miss and Decadad to take up the running at a genuine tempo. MOET AT MIDNIGHT (10) savaged the line third-up with a narrow fourth over 1315m here last time out. Gets the gun run from the inside draw and will prove hard to hold out. BROADBEACH MISS (3) beaten for early speed on resumption with a disappointing last over 1200m at Doomben. Well placed for this over the extra journey. Can make amends. COLLEANO (1) improved quickly to land the prize second-up and has since struggled at his last two starts in town. Back to his right trip and has each way prospects. AUREATE (6) appreciated the firmer surface and claim fourth-up with a tough win over 1315m at this track. Gets map favours and not to be overlooked. SUGGESTED PLAY: Moet At Midnight is ready to win.
