Solid tempo with I See You Coming possessing enough dash to find the front.
CHEVAL CHIC (1) has not raced since finishing just three lengths away in a much tougher race than this over today's trip at Eagle Farm nine weeks ago. Good fresh performer who has raced very well in two previous outings on heavy tracks. Finds an ideal race to kick things off. SUPERHERO (3) came from near the tail on the corner to be beaten just over a length in an impressive effort over this trip at Doomben last time out. Has a couple of placings to his name on heavy tracks. Serious threat. CRESSBROOK (5) continued the strong form this prep when a close second over 1315m at Ballina recently. Enjoys a gun run from the inside stall and looks sure to feature in the finish again. FOR BETTER (12) started favourite and had her chance but found a couple better here at this distance last start. Going well enough but is yet to be tested in these conditions. CRACKENTHORPE (7) resumes. Loves racing here and comes to hand quickly so this looks a winnable race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cheval Chic to win.
