FREDDIE EDDIE (3) finished tenth two runs back at Barcaldine then improved last time out to score by a nose after being in contention on the turn over 1200m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he can win again. CHIEF MONDO (14) finished runner-up on turf over 1000m at Barcaldine two back then filled another minor placing last start on the same surface at Barcaldine, beaten half a length over the 1000m journey. Looks a strong chance to find winning form here. FERGHANA (7) was last at the races when he finished seventh over 1300m at Mackay on November 14. Sure to make his presence felt. CROATIAN QUEEN (10) won at Jandowae two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing eighth over 1000m at Nanango. Finds a nice race and can atone.
