Solid tempo with Allezizzy to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. MOOTESSA (7) was an upset winner fresh up at Ipswich, and her next couple of stars have been in tougher company. She has not missed a cheque on this track, and will have the aid of a 2kg claim to help offset her weight rise in this easier grade. Hard to beat this time. COOL PANELS (16) found the right race when resuming with a comfortable win by half a length at Kilcoy 3 weeks ago over 1200m. The extra furlong won't bother him, and he can repeat the dose. RARE MOON (14) battled on fairly well when finishing fifth at Toowoomba nearly 4 weeks ago, and she did win on this track near the ned of October. She might want some cut in the ground, and with conditions to suit, she can figure in the top 3. I'LLTELLYOUSO (12) was back in form at Beaudesert 9 days ago, and Ryan Wiggins will keep the ride. She should be strong enough now to cope with 1400m for the first time, and she would not be a shock winner. KINGSLAND (6) was third last start off a freshen up, and he has top 4 claims in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: I'lltellyouso each way.
