Either Bear On The Loose or Quietness should find the front and dictate terms. BEAR ON THE LOOSE (5) comes here in peak condition and won't find a Half Yours in this field. Stalked the speed and given every chance when no match for the classy Half Yours to run second over 2400m in the LR Caloundra City Cup at the Sunshine Coast. Will take control early and could prove hard to run down. QUIETNESS (7) both Australian runs have been excellent and worth noting he's undefeated in two starts over this trip. Held a forward position when a gritty second over 2100m in the LR Tattersall's Gold Crown at Eagle Farm. Can slide across from the gate and figure prominently. ZOOLOGY (8) stretches out to 2350m for the first time from the inside gate. Has further improvement to come after putting away a good field over 2000m at Doomben. Looks ready for this stiffer test. Keep safe. BELVEDERE BOYS (1) has a sense of timing third up with Shinn booked. Gives every indication of running the trip after powering late when second over 2000m at Rosehill in the LR McKell Cup. Respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bear On The Loose to take stopping.
