Chiba, Gozo and Divine Source to match motors but there will be other pressure.
DIVINE SOURCE (9) did some work from a wide gate to lead last start and the early effort told when she tired late to finish fourth over this distance at Beaudesert. Draws closer today and will be cherry ripe at the third run back. Likes racing here so plenty to like about her prospects. CHIBA (2) struggled to get involved when fresh from a nine-month spell over this trip at Doomben last time out. That was the first run since coming to the Heinrich/Rogers stable. Led all the way to win over 1250m at Newcastle second-up last prep. Open to plenty of improvement. MAYBE (8) ran well above expectations when returning from a 190-day break recently, boxing on well for third over today's journey at Doomben. Lightly raced mare who can go on with the job. GOZO (4) lines up for only the third time and is back from a 32-week spell. Has plenty of talent and is a big market watch with the blinkers on for the first time. I SAW THE LIGHT (6) is first-up since September 2024. Betting the key. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Divine Source to win.
