Brilliant mind (4) peaks and can win this at best.Showed more like his best when beaten 2l in a townsville open over a mile.Is on a quick back-up and wiggins is a key jockey booking.Vienna rain (6) raced over longer at cooktown as a firm favourite and didn't see it right out.The two prior efforts stack right up and he has plenty of weight relief at this level.Draws well and dropping back to the 7f shouldn't bother.Silent explorer (1) seeks the hat-trick following the all-the-way win at innisfail.Can control the race again and the extra 1f shouldn't prove an issue.Prime ruler (2) just missed in the same contest and always puts in.Has won 7/10 here and gets another chance.
