TRUMP CARD (1) settled well back then made some inroads and finished 4.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1400m at this track when first up from a spell. Steps up in journey today. The testing material. BIRMINGHAM (2) started at $3.60 last time on the back of a win at Gold Coast Poly two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth over 1540m at Gold Coast Poly. Likely improver with strong prospects. TALAKAI (11) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at Gatton with a win as favourite over 1600m at Inverell two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2.25 lengths. Likely to be in the finish again. SANCTUARY STORM (8) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when ninth and beaten 6 lengths over 2180m at Ipswich. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
