PINK THUNDER (11) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Less impressive last time out when tenth over 6f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. SHE'S A ROGUE (10) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 5f at Eagle Farm. Will be hard to beat. GREAT BARRIER REEF (7) fought on well for second last start over 5f at Eagle Farm, making it two minor placings in a row. Draws ideally and is among the main chances. THE ASTRONOMER (8) showed good speed and fought on for second over 5½f at this track last time. Will be handy in the run despite the tricky draw. Do not underestimate.
