SIR MAURICE (1) settled well back then made some inroads and finished 3.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1000m at Gold Coast a month ago. Steps up in journey today. The testing material. LONE ARTIST (3) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 1.4 lengths, over 1000m at this track when fresh from a spell. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts him right in this. DIVINE GEM (5) will find this a little easier after missing the frame in town last time, finishing ninth over 1200m at Doomben. Can do much better this time. ZUETORO (4) produced another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1000m at Gold Coast at the second run back from a spell. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
