Hearts Are Better, The Gambling Greek and Astapor to match motors but there will be other pressure.
SURPRISE HONEY (6) only beat a Class 1 field here a fortnight ago, but the manner of the 2.2 length win was impressive, as was stopping the clock at 1.08 and change. Back in trip but she has good gate speed and looks a winning hope again. COSMO CENTAURUS (7) returned from a twenty-four-week spell and maintained his unbeaten record when successful in a Saturday metro 1000m dash at the Sunshine Coast. Tricky draw is a concern but he can keep raising the bar. THE GAMBLING GREEK (3) hasn't appeared since he edged out Surprise Honey over 1200m at Eagle Farm five weeks ago. Promising youngster who should enjoy the perfect run from an inside draw and will probably look the winner at some stage. The flying HEARTS ARE BETTER (13) has been kept fresh since a win over 800m at Ipswich eight weeks ago. Will lead and give backers a sight - the last 100m is the worry. PETTICOAT (5) has been thereabouts since a huge first-up win at the Gold Coast. In the mix from a handy gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Surprise Honey can salute again.
