MAX Q (11) finished second last start over 1400m at this track to make it two minor placings from four runs. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this course. Sure to prove very tough to beat. GAMBARE BEAR (10) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to play a major role. MISTY MOUNTAIN (9) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start when he worked home well but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 0.6 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CROWN HEART (16) is a six-start maiden who has been in the money two times, Could only manage 11th last time out over 1400m at this track. Has recorded two top-three finishes from five runs at this venue. Can measure up.
