Solid tempo anticipated with Permission Granted leading the way.
WARRIOR BAE (4) turned at the tail of the field then quickened in good style through the heavy ground to get up for fourth when resuming over this distance at Ipswich last start. Will take a lot from that run and with a better jump this time he is a big chance to take this out. BRUTAL LASS (10) is back after a 130-day spell. Opened last prep off a 13-month break with a win here at this distance. Yet to encounter a heavy track which is the query. A couple of neat recent trials suggest she is going well. SIGLO DE ORO (8) ran on well but found one better over 1100m at Beaudesert recently. Placed at both previous heavy track runs and the extra trip today is a plus. Genuine hope. PERMISSION GRANTED (2) lumped 61kgs when beaten a whisker over this trip at Grafton last start. The 3kg claim helps a lot. Should be thereabouts again. FAITHINHER (7) recorded a barnstorming win over today's journey at Kilcoy last start. Has a few things against her today but can sneak into the frame. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Warrior Bae.
