MISTER BIANCO (1) took advantage of a low draw last time and stalked the lead before going on to score by half a length over 1200m at Gold Coast. Michael Rodd who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to play a big role. GIN A TONIC (3) is a distance specialist who improved sharply on his seventh two starts back at Eagle Farm with success as public elect over 1200m at Ipswich two weeks ago, getting home by a long neck. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. KIWI SPIRIT (13) was a narrow winner last time over 1240m at Ipswich with today's rider Jag Guthmann-Chester aboard. Nice weight drop so he should run well. IMPENDOR (6) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 0.8 lengths over 1240m at Ipswich. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling.
