METALART (6) is back from a lay-off. Closed last prep in sparkling form with four consecutive wins, the latest over 5½f at this track on May 29. Should be prominent from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. NAVYONTHEHIGHWAY (16) is a multiple winner who is yet to miss the frame in three starts. Last appeared when she finished second over 6f at Eagle Farm on June 29. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will play a major role. MAJORELLE (3) finished third two runs back at Murwillumbah then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths as public elect over 5f130yards at Lismore. Andrew Mallyon scored on him last time and retains the mount. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. BARASSI (22) returned from a break with a seventh over 5f at Gold Coast, weakening right out of it after leading early. Sure to give a sight.
