Verdict

DIVINE DIAMONDS (3) is having her first run for the new stable but should find this easier than recent southern QLD efforts. Will be at peak fitness for this and looks the one they all have to run down. RUM RUMBLE (2) has been racing consistently at Mackay of late and gets some weight relief from the favourable draw. Ticks a few boxes. Former Hong Kong galloper LINE 'EM UP LOUI (6) will have taken a stack of benefit from that first-up hit-out after a long spell and can improve enough to take this out. Respect any market confidence. FANCY GARTER (7) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and looks one for the exotics players. LOOMING ONE (8) best of the rest.
