Rail Position: True entire circuit

Only race fitness that cost WOLF MOON first-up from spell when chased home The Lioness. With that run under his girth he can turn the tables and win this.

THE LIONESS chased home bravely and got the prize here last start and that made it two wins from her last three outings. Drawn perfectly and can win again.

MOONAN ME won with something in hand at Doomben two back then he found some trouble last start. Cannot leave him out of winning chances.

Tip: WOLF MOON

GAROPPOLO comes into this ready third-up from spell. Placed at Eagle Farm first-up then no luck last start when held-up final stages.

CRACKER ESSGEE was placed at Eagle Farm first-up from spell. Not been beaten all that far in last couple of runs and will be a factor again.

STORMY ROCK finished the race off strongly when placed at Doomben two back then he did not have much luck here last. Must include in chances.

Tip: GAROPPOLO

WHY WE DRINK started odds on favourite at Ipswich last start. He found heavy ground but still finished too well for them. Drawn awkwardly but cannot dismiss.

GAMBU is another that found heavy ground on debut but liked the way he knuckled down and got the job done. He can go on with it here.

MILITARY GAMBLER comes into this ready third-up from spell. Just missed at Ipswich last start and if he can find that form will be in the mix again.

Tip: WHY WE DRINK

RUBIQUITOUS led throughout and got the prize at Doomben first-up. Expect he will be better from that outing and no reason he cannot win again.

LEGAL ESPRIT resumes from spell. He has won five of six starts and won all three last time in work. Must include in major chances again.

BLACKJACK BOOM resumes from spell. He won two of three starts at his first campaign and two recent trial wins will have him ready fresh.

Tip: RUBIQUITOUS

WEONA SMARTONE resumed in winning form at Gold Coast last start. He has won eight of his nine starts and from perfect barrier draw he will get the right run and only needs ounce of luck late.

STARTANTES is first-up from spell. She raced consistently in some hot races last time in work and from inside gate she will be right in the mix.

JE SUIS BELLE resumes from spell. She has not finished any further back than second first-up (5:2-3-0) and must include on that stat alone.

Tip: WEONA SMARTONE

SWEET MARGOT MARY started odds on and won with something in hand at Ballina. Drawn to drive through and sit in first couple and she can win again.

XERRI finished too well to win this track two starts back then just did not finish race off well enough at Eagle Farm. He looks well placed in this.

ONE SHY RUBY made it two in a row when she won at Doomben last start. Fitter again and no reason she cannot make it three straight.

Tip: SWEET MARGOT MARY

SMART METEOR relished the heavy ground to win the Shoot Out at Doomben last start. Won two of his last three and this not beyond him.

Liked the way WARP SPEED finished the race off when placed at Doomben first-up. Sure to be better from that outing and despite wide gate cannot leave out.

PROFIT ran on strongly when placed in Listed company first-up then just got too far back at Gold Coast. He can bounce back in this.

Tip: SMART METEOR

DESERT LORD resumes from spell. He usually produces best form when fresh and won first-up last campaign. Needs some luck from wide gate but going to have something each way.

EAST ASIA was strong winning at Eagle Farm two starts back then she just got too far back on the heavy ground last start. She can bounce back.

THE HARROVIAN chased home bravely when placed in the Bernborough last start. Comes into this third-up from spell and from inside gate will figure.

OSCAR ZULU finished to well to get the prize at Randwick two starts back then got too far off them at Gold Coast. Third-up and must respect.

Tip: DESERT LORD

MASS DESTRUCTION finished too well to get the prize at Doomben two starts back then found heavy ground last start but still hit line hard. Racing well enough for this.

LASTING KISS had excuses when pulled up with lacerations first-up. She will be better from that outing and from ideal barrier must include.

BOOMTOWN LASS has just been battling a touch in last couple but she draws inside barrier and would be looking for improvement.

BONAPARTE is racing in consistent fashion with two sound placings leading into this. Needs some luck from awkward barrier but must include in exotics.

Tip: MASS DESTRUCTION
