1. Brains | Resumes after a 23 week spell and likes a heavier track. Goes up in weight. Appears tested. |
2. Dordogne | Unplaced in all four runs this prep and gets the blinkers back on. Up 5kg from last run. Looking to others. |
3. Hutcho | Finished six lengths off the winner last start at Townsville on a heavy track and should run fitter for past attempts. Drops in weight but still looks tested. |
4. Jemadar | Winner despite being unwanted in the betting last start at Townsville on a heavy track and likes a heavier track. 3kg claim should help. Genuine claims. |
5. Cash Raider | Can't knock the form winning two in a row at Cairns. Should race on the speed. A good chance. |
6. Notio | Ran two lengths back from the winner last start at Townsville and down in distance. Should be winning. |
7. Umberto | Chased well to just miss last start at Rockhampton and gets the winkers back on. Can figure. |
8. Helmaz | Only able to place as favourite last start at Townsville but down in weight. Drawn perfectly. Expect to be right up there. |
