Solid tempo expected primarily from Zingalong and Jotopeli. EXPRESS BARBIE (7) missed a nose at Ipswich then worked over from the 15 gate and led at the Gold Coast and was swamped just missing a place. There was a lot to like about that and she draws handier today. Well placed with the 2kg claim. STRANGLEHOLD (1) built on a nice third when fresh at the Gold Coast with a big win over 1400m at Gold Coast, getting home by 2.25 lengths. Needs a good ride but will be right in it if that occurs. ALIQUAM (15) led them up and belted the Maidens here by 5.2L on a heavy track. Should have the early speed to manage the awkward gate and she has upside. PIREONTI (4) mixes the form but will be better back to this trip, and her best efforts would see her in the mix. ALL KINDS OF FOLK (2) has switched from a Victorian yard and has won fresh. Will race over further but has ability and is a betting watch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Express Barbie appeals most.
