STORM THE FORTRESS (5) was a winner over 5½f at Katherine last time, racing on the pace before getting the upper hand and scoring by half a length. Sound record at this distance with two wins and two minor placings from six runs and should be in the finish. IDEAS MAN (1) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 5f at this track at his latest appearance. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Likely to feature. DOC O'CONNOR (3) started at 9/4 last time but could only manage fifth, beaten 9 lengths, at this track over 5f. Has a high cruising speed. Capable of testing this field. SEGUSO (2) turned in a strong performance when resuming when in the money at this track but disappointed last time when eighth, beaten 7 lengths, at this track over 6f. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
