SIBELIUS (5) was in commission second up last start and was in the frame for the second time in as many runs this prep, finishing second over 6f at Lismore. Great chance to break through. WHATTA WHITT (15) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 6f at Warwick. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. BEANS MEANS (4) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5¼f at Toowoomba, beaten 4 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. AZUKI (1) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of four-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 6½f at Toowoomba. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
