Strong tempo with Tsunami, Shiho and Looming One leading the way. ALMIGHTY JAB (5) was an easy Maiden winner here over a short sprint and then raced a short-priced favourite at Townsville, beaten 1.6L. He was stepping up to this trip, and with Wiggins sticking, he has a decent chance to bounce. TSUNAMI (3) is a leader who belted the Townsville Maidens by 4L. The money came again there after in an Open 3, and he didn't get warm (vet cleared). This is winnable, and briefly freshened, he deserves another chance. TRAVELLING SWEET (10) was quickly back to form, narrowly beaten at Mareeba. Has weight relief, and the in-form Morrison remains aboard. Maps well and can't be ruled out. LOOMING ONE (4) will push forward and can build on the tidy Townsville Maiden win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Almighty Jab.
