WHO ORDERED DAFISH (3) lines up for the first time since April 25. Looking to emulate his win at Warwick at the beginning of last prep. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. TREASURER (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 6f at Sunshine Coast, beaten 1.3 lengths into fifth. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. HE'S ESSENTIAL (7) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 20 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 6½f at Sunshine Coast, beaten 5.5 lengths. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. HE'S FOR THE GIRLS (1) drew wide when resuming over 5½f at Ipswich last start and wound up in seventh, beaten 3.5 lengths. Form at this circuit is impressive with two wins from three starts. Will find this tougher but is too good to overlook.
