SHINY LOVE has been running well this campaign winning twice and placing in all other outings, leading hope. INTREPID LAD back from let-up and gets the winkers on for the first time, include in exotics. KAYLEEN'S PROFIT short back-up of seven days and gets the blinkers back on, capable of getting into the money with a bit of luck. EAGLE WARRIOR came on to finish midfield last start at Townsville and racing back at non-metro class, consider in exotics.

HOU LONG GWAI on a seven day back-up and won once this prep at Rockhampton three runs back, a winning chance. INTREPID LAD back from let-up and gets the winkers on for the first time, could threaten. DWAYNE short back-up of three days and finished a neck back from the leader last start at Emerald, could upset. MARAVILLAS on a five day back-up and in the money last start running third at Bowen, in with a chance.

CINCHICATED finished a neck back from the leader last start at Gladstone and has two placings from four runs this prep, marginal top pick. THE HOUSE on debut and from a strong camp, should be thereabouts. DAVOS first start and drawn ideally, the real danger in the race. JONKER ROCKET first starter and from a good stable, don't treat lightly.

BALKAN MELODY on a seven day back-up and has two placings from five runs this prep, a winning chance. MO SPIRIT placed once this prep at Bowen and finished midfield last start at Mackay, dangerous. BESTOV on a three day back-up and has three placings from nine runs this prep, not without each-way claims. SAILING SOLO has two placings from six runs this prep but finished at the rear last start at Rockhampton and keep an eye on a Kevin Miller trained horse, could upset.

FIVE STAR KING back from eight week let-up and placed in three of three at Mackay before, well placed. BREECHES in strong form with two wins from six attempts this campaign and keep an eye on a Matthew McGuire trained horse, could threaten. ARANCIA on a five day back-up and drawn ideally, in with a chance. MELO MELO KAVA has two placings from six runs this prep and racing back at non-metro class, looks threatening.

THEE CREEK won last start at Townsville and up in trip, big chance. HOT DIGITY BOOM generally strong second-up, could upset. OUR MISSILE in strong form with five wins from 12 attempts this campaign and amongst the placegetters last start running second at Townsville, don't dismiss. DETERMINATION a track specialist winning three times at Mackay and four wins from 10 attempts this campaign, the real danger in the race.
