COLLEAGUES (3) was in the market when resuming but could only manage fourth over 6¾f at Ipswich last start. Settles back early but winds up late. Will be tough to hold out. IVAN'S HERO (7) was well in commission when resuming last start over 7f at Sunshine Coast but could only manage fourth, although only 3 lengths from the winner. Facing a tougher assignment but he is right in this. BILLIONAIR BABY (5) is racing well. Scored at Doomben in a then finished second, beaten one length, over 7f at Gold Coast at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Nicely placed to atone. OUR MAGNUS (4) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 6¾f at Ipswich when beaten 1.2 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but is too good to overlook.
