Expecting Explosive Dragon to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. FIGHTING IDOL (1) has needed all of his 3 starts back from a spell and will find this easier than his last start at Eagle Farm 7 weeks ago. Each way value. INATICK (2) is a promising gelding who was back in winning form at a recent Dalby picnic meeting 2 weeks ago. He won't find this much harder and should be right in the finish again. INSPIRED DREAM (12) made the most of a good ride when scoring here 3 weeks ago, and she is up 3.5kg in weight this time. She is normally consistent and is worth including in all combinations. AERIAL BAY (8) won a trial before finishing fourth as favourite at Ipswich 5 weeks ago. Her only win came second up, and she can set the record straight in this. Follow your money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aerial Bay each way.
