Moderate pace with O'caldino rolling to the lead and setting the tempo. CLASSIC SHIRAZ (6) was given a short break after winning over 2042m at Murwillumbah. Kept ticking over since that run with a trial at Gold Coast Poly. Rates highly and is sure to be competitive. WAVERLEY (1) last start finished seventh at Ipswich over 2150m after he gave away a big start. This is a more suitable assignment so expect a better run. O'CALDINO (3) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but just found a couple better over 1900m at Kilcoy, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Has his share of talent and will prove hard to beat in this suitable race. WHATJEUDOIN' (2) is drawn to get all the favours from the low draw and can improve enough to feature in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Classic Shiraz to win again.
