DEVIL DEVIL (3) scored when resuming last start at Rockhampton over this distance after he was a fair way off the leaders on the turn. Boasts excellent form at today's trip with three wins from four starts. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be in the finish. UNCUT GEM (6) returns from a break of five months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a ninth over 1300m at Eagle Farm. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. HENRY'S BLADE (2) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 2.25 lengths over 1050m at Rockhampton. Blinkers are removed. Among the leading chances. FLYING MAPLE (8) produced a better run last start, beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth over 1050m at Rockhampton. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
