Verdict

Tricky. Gollan-trained SIMPLY EXCELS (1) was quickly back on track when beaten a whisker over this distance in a CL2 at the Sunshine Coast. He will push forward and has a jockey switch to the talented 7lbs claimer Williams. Has been kept on the fresh side and can go one better. STEIN (12) is a promising filly who was backed off the map leading and winning a Doomben Maiden over this trip. Will jump and run from an inside barrier and keeps the handy 4lbs claim. She won't have to improve much to fight out the finish. CINDERSEA (5) is also promising. Had been off the scene for 420 days but was too good for a Cl2 field at Ipswich first up. Didn't have the best of it in a CL3 at the Gold Coast following and will be fitter again. Jumps from an awkward gate but has more up the sleeve. The 7lbs claim brings her right into it. THE STARS (10) went close at Ipswich first-up and also has more to give. Will likely jump from the outside barrier but can't be ruled out.
