MOKTAFFY (5) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest sixth at Rockhampton over 1500m. The testing material on his best form. STAMPEDE WARRIOR (2) finished third when resuming two runs back at Blackall then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.75 lengths over 1517m at Gladstone. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. FOR VALOUR (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when seventh, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1200m at this track after he was prominent at the turn. Will strip fitter and is among the main hopes. CABALO ESCURO (4) missed the frame first-up but looks ready to win now after two straight placings, the latest over 1200m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Sure to be competitive.
