SHY GUY (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 16 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1m3f at Sunshine Coast. Nicely placed to test this line-up. HILLCREST AVENUE (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fifth over 1m1f at Eagle Farm a week-and-a-half ago after being in contention on the turn. Has the ability to put the recent run of form behind him. SON OF SATONO (9) hit the frame two starts ago at Sunshine Coast Poly but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 3 lengths over 1m3f at this track after being in contention on the corner. Has the class to figure prominently. PEROVIC (1) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fifth over 1m2f here last time. Worth including.
