Hot tempo expected from Band Of Brothers and Kitty Flash. BAND OF BROTHERS (6) was edged out by Midnight in Tokyo after leading first-up over today's distance at Eagle Farm. Stepped up to 1400m last start in the Glasshouse at the Sunshine Coast and struggled at the end of 1400m. Very fit and will give them something to catch back to this preferable trip. LISZTOMANIA (13) came from the clouds to snatch victory in the last bound first-up over today's journey at Eagle Farm. Up in grade but drops 6kgs and his second-up record reads nicely. GIVEMETHEBEATBOYS (3) did a great job to be beaten just 1.5 lengths in the Group 3 Healy recently after blowing the start. Multiple stakes winner who has the class to test this field. BRUDENELL (2) disappointed in the Healy last start but is much better than that. Distance specialist who can return to form from a favourable gate. FIRE STAR (5) hasn't been far away in good races all prep. Blinkers back on may make the difference this afternoon. SUGGESTED PLAY: Band Of Brothers each-way in a typically open Ramornie.
