1. Future Idea | Amongst the placegetters first two attempts this prep and placed three times at Rockhampton but been unable to get a win. 3kg claim should help. Well placed. |
2. Bayerische | Finished midfield last start at Mackay when first up and drawn the rails. Faces a rise in trip. Rates as one of the key chances. |
3. Euphrates | Won last start to break maiden at Gatton but Nathan Thomas not a regular jockey for this trainer. Capable of getting into the money. |
4. Menschkeit | Can't knock the form with two wins from seven attempts this campaign and rates well in these conditons. Nathan Day has had success aboard previously. Can surprise. |
5. Bringthelove | Won once this prep at Rockhampton two runs back and finished eighth last start at Toowoomba. Rates highly with Anthony Allen aboard. Well placed. |
6. Dollar Dollar | Gave nothing else a chance to win last start to break maiden at Rockhampton on a soft track when fresh and has run well with the sting out of the ground. Up in distance. Genuine contender. |
7. Exalted | Won once this prep at Rockhampton three runs back and did nothing to threaten last start at the track. Claim should help but not here. |
8. Burgundy Rules | Has placed in two runs from five this campaign and gets the blinkers back on. Awkwardly drawn. Not in this. |
9. Mount Dumaresq | Came on to finish midfield last start at Rockhampton and placed once this prep at Mackay. Chris Whiteley a bonus. Place hope. |
10. Better Ask Roy | In the money last start running second at Rockhampton on a soft track and gets the winkers back on. Without a win in six runs at the track. Place chance. |
