Without a recognised leader, Colleano and Ginger Mick will likely set the pace. EL PENSADOR (2) has been plying his trade in harder south east QLD contests of late and will appreciate the drop back in company here. Boasts a win and three placings from seven attempts at the trip and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. MATERIALIST (6) has won two from four over this distance range and will be rock-hard fit for this contest. Worth including on best form. FIRST MAN (5) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and is better than that recent effort suggests. Can bounce right back. GOT GUMPTION (7) has hit the top-four in six of his past seven outings and is usually thereabouts. One for the exotics players. CHARTWELL (3) best of the rest with Wiggins in the stirrups. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards El Pensador.
