CHAMPAGNE ROUGE (8) is still a maiden after 11 starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Sunshine Coast two starts back before finishing seventh over 2180m at this track last start. Can break through in this suitable contest. PREFER TO DANCE (4) improved last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1600m at Sunshine Coast Poly after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. STATE OF AFFAIRS (5) made progress last start to finish second over 2210m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ARTSPACE (1) made some progress last start to finish fourth over 2000m at Gold Coast Poly, beaten 3.5 lengths. Tackles a longer journey this time around and is worth plenty of thought.
