Verdict

I'M ZAC (5) is bursting to win after two sound Open placings, the latest a Longreach third when beaten just under a length after beginning awkwardly and laying in. His record around 5f is strong enough to make the shorter trip a positive and he can feature. NAPOLEON STRIKE (3) brings very reliable recent form, with close thirds at Townsville and Mt Isa, and the drop to 123lbs gives him a genuine chance to turn those placings into a win. COCHRANE (4) was only just denied at Ewan and has the most persuasive track-and-distance profile among the main hopes, though barrier 10 leaves him with more to overcome. CONTEMPORARY (1) was well held as favourite at Mt Isa, but his Mackay 3yo+ Class 6 win two back and proven 5f record keep him in the mix for a placing.
