Moderate tempo expected with Malecon likely to find the front over Starath. MALECON (1) ran on strongly as favourite second-up at Dalby a fortnight ago and finished runner-up. He is bred to excel over the longer trips and will relish stepping out to a mile. His fitness will be peaking and he is nicely poised to go one better this time, especially with the inform senior hoop Justin Huxtable replacing an apprentice. BANKSIA BEACH (8) was fifth at Dalby last time out and will also be suited by the step up to a mile. She can secure a cosy run early on from a good draw and is ready to put her best hoof forward in this. Each way. PROPHET OF BOOM (6) was third in the same race as the top pick last start and is still at the improving stage. She tries the mile for the first time and this field is not that strong. Each way claims again. FLYING JEWEL (7) was out of the money in his first run for a new trainer and probably needed the hit out as it was his first run in nearly 7 weeks. A good draw will help so expect a better effort this time. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Malecon to win.
