Verdict

SHINY LOVE (4) was in the placings when 3 lengths away from the winner last time at Rockhampton and drops in weight here. Has placed two from two around this circuit and will be rock-hard fit for this contest. Racing very consistently this campaign and looks the one they all have to run down. SEERESS (7) finished out of the money two starts back then she was always well out of her ground and was beaten 8 lengths when seventh over 1 5/16m at Ipswich two weeks ago. This is much easier and is sure to be there at the finish. EAGLE WARRIOR (1) was out of the money two runs back then missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1 ¼m at Townsville, beaten 3.5 lengths into seventh. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is set to turn things around. KAYLEEN'S PROFIT (2) next in line.
