PREFER TO DANCE (4) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished fourth over 1625m at Toowoomba. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. ABOVEFORTY (2) is a nine-start maiden who could only manage to finish eighth at his latest appearance over 1800m at Sunshine Coast. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. STATE OF AFFAIRS (5) was popular in betting last time out but disappointed in finishing fourth over 2200m at Ipswich, beaten 5.5 lengths. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. PIERANT (3) could only manage to finish 11th, beaten 13 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1890m at Newcastle after he got a long way back in the run. Expected to feature in the finish this time.
