A race that lacks early pressure on paper. KATDEEL (17) disappointed last start over 1800m at the Gold Coast in a run worth overlooking. Beaten under three lengths over this distance at Doomben in heavy going two back which is a strong form line for a race of this calibre. Must go on top in a very open affair. HE'S A COPY BOY (3) has attacked the line with gusto at his two runs back from a break. Usually starts to improve at this stage of the prep. Good wet tracker who races well here so looks a genuine chance. Last start Ballina winner FRIEND IN NEED (16) has further improvement to come at just the third run of the campaign. Good effort last time to tough it out over 1300m on a heavy surface. Untried at this trip but looks ready to run it out. OUR SPARKY (12) is racing well and should be thereabouts at her second run back from a six-week let-up. DISCREET LADY (8) is a nob in the wet and here recent efforts have all be sound. SUGGESTED PLAY: Katdeel each-way in a tough one for punters.
