Flying Animo, Irish Rocket and Little Iffy to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. FLYING ANIMO (16) was heavily supported at Townsville on debut and didn't let backers down with a dominant victory. Looks the runner in this field with the most upside and is expected to go very close again. UNCUT GEM (4) had been competing at Listed level before the spell and will find this task a stack easier than those efforts. May run a race while fresh. TAHKIAN BUBBLES (10) is a winner around this circuit and gets some weight relief with the claim. In the mix on best form. LITTLE IFFY (18) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be discounted. THORMENDOUS MISS (12) is yet to put in a poor one and is a must for the multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 16,4,10,18.
