BIG DEMEANOR (1) has accrued three minor placings from four runs this preparation. Produced another good effort last time out when third over 1000m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. RUM RUMBLE (5) produced a good effort last start when second over 1200m at Rockhampton to make it three minor placings from six runs this preparation. Well-placed and looks hard to beat. IRISH GIFT (3) returns after a spell of five months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1210m at Lismore. Has switched to the Nathan Coves yard. Sure to make his presence felt. LONGCROSS (9) ran below expectations last time at Mackay, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
