MAGIC GAME (8) finished seventh at her second-up appearance over 1300m at Rockhampton but it is worth noting she won at the only third-up run. Rates highly and can bounce back. NICKELBACK (6) finds it hard to win with three victories from 32 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when 11th over 1435m at Grafton, beaten 7 lengths. Has the talent to feature in the finish. HEARSAY (9) is overdue for a win with two recent placings, the latest finishing second over 1500m at Cairns, and is down in the weights this time. Goes well at this trip, recording three minor placings and should be involved in the finish. AIDENABET (4) had been in sound form but last start he was safely held when seventh over 1470m at Bowen. Jason Taylor has been in the money at every start aboard this seven-year-old gelding so he is among the better chances.
