Verdict

GRUMPYWANTSATISSUE (4) was a big winner two back at Mackay then disappointed last time at Rocky when seventh on slow ground. This is easier and gets a chance to atone. BE BOB ALOOLA (3) stepped up to a mile for the first time in the latest and scored his maiden win. Lightly raced and has some upside so could well go on with it. MR GREY (5) was a close-up fourth two back then not far away last time. Looks well placed here and rates a leading player. THE PROPHECY (8) was beaten for early speed and didn't come into contention when a disappointing 14th over 7f at Rockhampton most recently. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects. MAKING HISTORY (6) was a fading ninth of wet ground last time but is better than that. Wiggins goes aboard and can sneak a place.
