OBLIGATED (4) was a winner last time over 1200m at Mackay and re-unites with Ashley Butler who steered on that occasion. Gets some weight relief this time so another bold showing is expected. HENRY'S BLADE (3) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at this track with success over 1050m at Mackay two weeks ago, getting home by half a length after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely to be there at the finish again. CAPO STRADA (1) was on speed for much of the way over this course and distance last time but weakened late to finish fifth, beaten 4 lengths. Better than the last run and is among the chances. PRETTY SLICK (6) sat on the pace last start until tiring to finish sixth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1050m at this circuit. Has a solid record at this circuit. Not to be discounted.
