Replace The Ace and Inca Trail to take up the running at a strong tempo.
DIVAKARA (3) has a solid record over this mile journey with a win and three seconds from just five attempts and will be ready to peak now third run back from a spell. Gets 3kg off from the favourable draw and should be right there at the business end. MORE TROUBLE (1) got the job done at Mackay last time out and winning rider Cormack sticks in the saddle. Another bold showing is expected. PULVERISER (4) brings south QLD formlines to the table and will be rock-hard fit for this. In the mix. The well-related INCA TRAIL (6) (half to 2xG1 winner Overpass) will be high on confidence following a last-start victory here and shouldn't be underestimated. BO BO BEWARE (10) is often thereabouts and is sure to run his usual honest race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Divakara to salute.
