Verdict

HEIR JORDAN (4) has won two on the trot in weaker company, the latest over 1m at Ingham. Needs the step up in distance at this stage. Drops 4kgs after the claim which puts the hat trick well within reach. AMALFI AMORE (5) is a bit hot and cold. Scored over this distance at Innisfail two back then raced on the speed but folded up in the run home over 1 ¼m at Townsville last time. Major player if he brings his best form. SAVVY THINKER (8) backs up six days after showing pace before dropping out over 1 ?m at Mackay. Has raced once over this distance for a win. Deserves another chance. PREFER TO DANCE (7) has been struggling for a while but his best figures stack up nicely. Can fill a hole in the small field. ACCLIMATISE (3) next best but must be a risk at 1 5/16m.
