Strong tempo expected with Rebelious Red, Looming Legend and Big Demeanor prominent. WHIRLWIND (12) is returning from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Finished eighth at Albury over 1400m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Matthew McGuire. Fitter for a minor placing in a recent Townsville trial and is one of the genuine hopes in the race. BIG DEMEANOR (1) last appeared when he finished third over 1470m at Bowen on August 16. Can make his presence felt. ZIPITALIST (5) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks and is having his first outing under new trainer Glenda Bell. Finished seventh at Nowra over 1100m at the opening run last time in work. Respect any market moves. BOOM BOOM RAY (6) gets the services of Wiggins in the irons and is capable of playing a major role in the outcome. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Whirlwind each-way.
