Letmeletgo, Choir Boy and Vincenzo to take up the running at a decent tempo. CHOIR BOY (9) resumed this grade at Townsville and needed the outing. He went back three weeks following, and missed a whisker in a 70 over this distance. He rides the speed and tumbles in weight at this level. Strips fitter, and the speedy galloper can go one better. VINCENZO (8) resumes and has switched from a NSW barn. He's proven fresh and would win this at best. Uses the rail and gets in well with the 2kg claim. STATS (4) has threatened this grade at Townsville at his last two and has a key jockey switch to Wiggins. Draws awkwardly, but can't be ruled out. LETMELETGO (2) draws inside and may be the one to control the race. He was outgraded at Rockhampton last time, but his form prior stacks up. He's sure to give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Choir Boy.
