TALK TIME (8) reunites with Andrew Mallyon after scoring with ease over 1m at Toowoomba last time. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Should prove tough to beat. PIPISTRELLE (12) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 5 lengths over 1m1f at Mackay as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from four runs. Big chance once again. KRONENBOURG (3) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations when resuming at Doomben, finishing fifth and beaten 2.75 lengths over 6¾f after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. IVERSON (6) settled well back and never threatened when sixth over 1m at Doomben last time out. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
