NIKAU SPUR (1) gave away a start then stormed home to win over 1m4f in the LR Queensland Cup at this track last time out. Nice class drop this time. Bold showing expected. ARTFUL GIRL (7) ran below expectations last time in the LR Queensland Cup at this track over 1m4f, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with two wins from four runs and should be in the finish. KIRKEBY (3) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1m4f in the LR Queensland Cup at this track. Well placed in this easier race. Certainly one to consider. FLEUR DU MONDE (4) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish ninth over 1m1f at this track in a disappointing performance. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
