Verdict

PACIERA (6) settled back and closed off strongly when beaten 1.2 lengths over 6f at Sunshine Coast. Led beaten 2L at the Sunshine Coast prior and has the versatility to manage the outside gate. This is a winnable assignment for the Currie-trained filly. GIRLS GOT ATTITUDE (5) rates well enough off her narrow defeat over 6f at Townsville. Led them up in that and draws inside today. She will take pegging back. PRECISE TORQUE (3) resumed over shorter at the Sunshine Coast and needed the outing. He wasn't far away here three runs back and gets in well with the 7lbs claim. Deserves consideration with the extra fitness. KENNY KOALA (2) debuts with the winkers and may be good enough to cover the remainder.
