Verdict

ANDERS KISS (5) was a Rocky winner two back then fourth last time in a tougher contest in Cairns. Looks well placed here with the claim and will find this easier. PRIVATE SHOWTIME (3) has paced tow of last three and i a former Gold Coast galloper having first run for the new yard. Suited this line-up and on recent form expected to measure up. FARNESINA (1) finished second last time over 6f at Muttaburra when resuming from a spell, beaten 5.5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Sure to be thereabouts. MLINZI (4) is on the quick back-up after disappointing at Betoota last time. Drops in weight and can do much better. KINDLY (6) is having first run for new yard and looks a great chance to atone.
