Verdict

BETTA THAN PRESLEY (4) won fresh up at Rockhampton before finishing sixth at Mackay over 5 ¼f 18 days ago. He has not missed a cheque in 4 starts over 6f, and he will be peaking third up for this easier assignment, so he goes on top for us. SPEC OF SILVER (6) was a beaten favourite fresh at Blackall and then was only beaten by a short head here just over 2 weeks ago. She cops a tough gate, but she can still figure in the top 3. SMASHING ROSIE (9) resumes from a spell at a suitable level, and despite the wide gate, she is worth including in all top 4 combos. ZOUSTRONG (8) was a close-up second at Mackay last time over 6f, and he looks to be nearing peak fitness now. He benefits from a 4lbs claim, and he is another each-way chance.
