SER JOH (9) started at $7 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing ninth over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ACRES AWAY (8) finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being prominent at the corner over 1200m at this track, an improvement on his seventh at Toowoomba the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. DEEP RESPECT (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 18/01/2025, finishing seventh and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. MAJORELLE (1) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 2 lengths win over 1190m at Grafton last time. Solid top-three chance.
