BRUTAL ADVANCE (4) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1200m at Ipswich. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Facing a tougher assignment but he is worth serious consideration. ABENDER (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a neck away in third over 1000m at Sunshine Coast. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. BOOM BREAK (3) is on debut. By Spirit Of Boom and comes from the Tony Gollan stable. Placed at his most recent trial. Expected to feature. MELTDOWN (8) has not raced since being well supported on his debut on August 21 over 1000m at Sunshine Coast when he finished fifth, beaten 2 lengths. Expected to be right there at the business end.
