KIND WISH (6) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 2.75 lengths when seventh over 6¾f at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. FREE CARRY (9) is a distance specialist who is coming along nicely this prep. Finished eighth when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at this track then improved and scored as favourite over 1m at Rockhampton three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.4 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. CAPE CRUSADER (8) continues to race well with a win in a at Toowoomba before finishing 1.75 lengths away in third last time over 6¾f at Ipswich. Goes well over this trip, filling a placing at all five starts, including a win and is expected to be competitive. BIG TICKET BOY (13) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into fifth over 7f at Sunshine Coast. Fitter and sure to run well.
