AKAKA FALLS (2) is going well with six minor placings from seven starts this time in work. Continued the trend last start when runner-up over 1000m at this track after he was in the firing line all the way. In a suitable race and can build on solid recent form. STATE IN TEXAS (9) will find this a little easier than his last assignment 58 days ago when ninth over 1000m in the LR The Mick Dittman at Eagle Farm. Forgive that latest effort. In the mix. RAN NA LADY (6) met with strong support when she resumed a week-and-a-half ago over 860m at Gatton and was only beaten 2 lengths into fifth after being in the firing line on the corner. Unbeaten in two starts when second up, last prep scoring over 800m at Ipswich. Likely improver with strong prospects. DEHORNED UNICORN (1) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and kept going to win by 2.75 lengths over 1000m at Barcaldine. Must be included.
