GIN A TONIC (3) strode forward early from his wide draw over 1200m at Doomben last time, leading for much of the way before being claimed in the straight to finish third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Well-placed and is going to prove tough to run down. BELEGATO (2) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a third in the LR The Mick Dittman at Eagle Farm two starts back then scored by 1.2 lengths last time out over 1110m at Doomben. Jag Guthmann-Chester scored on him last time and retains the mount. Has the class to make it two on the bounce. POWER OF KATIE (5) scored last start at Rockhampton to make it five wins and three placings from eight starts this campaign. Has a high cruising speed. Capable of testing this field. HEART AND SPIRIT (7) turned in a modest performance when 15th last time out over 1110m at Doomben, beaten 8 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. In contention this time.
