MAGIC INTENT (10) returned from a lay-off five weeks ago when she was in contention on the bend before being beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 5f at Townsville. Nicely placed to take this out. MR GRUMBLER (5) missed the placings when resuming recently but was not too far from the winner when fifth over 6f at Townsville. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to stop. JAAKUNA (13) resumes from a lay-off of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 4½f at Mareeba. Rates highly and is a chance to break through. POWER SHOW (7) resumes from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 4¾f at this track. Has ability and is worth including.
