The Right Way should find the front with Walsh Bay and Our Anchorage on his heels.
The $160,000 Listed Queensland Cup. After a solid run in the G3 Newcastle Cup SO YOU ARE (10) saluted at Doomben in impressive fashion last weekend. On the quick back-up here and gets in on the minimum weight here. Receives the services of Melbourne Cup winning rider Dolan in the irons and another strong showing would not surprise. WALSH BAY (6) has strung four wins together on the bounce with hoop Thornton being in the saddle for three of those victories. Can play a major role in the outcome again. QUEEN AIR (8) has a win and a second from three spins around this circuit and will be ready to peak now fourth run in. Capable of featuring. OUR ANCHORAGE (2) has been plying his trade in harder G3 company and will appreciate the slight drop back in grade here. Worth another chance. THE RIGHT WAY (5) makes some appeal in a competitive contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 10,6,8,2.
