Cold one (5) hasn't landed a glove in his two starts this time in work, the latest effort a well-beaten seventh over 7f at the sunshine coast.Back to a more suitable distance and the blinkers go on today so expect he is ready to show something.Surcote (9) was handy on straightening but failed to finish off at the end of 6½f at toowoomba last time out.This looks a shade easier so give him another chance.The maxinator (3) is back after a 15-week spell.Has three minor placings from five resumed runs.Distance specialist who makes plenty of appeal.Run rory run (2) did his best work late to get up for fifth when resuming over 5½f at murwillumbah recently.Has won three races, all at or around today's trip.Likely improver.Galaxy ruler (12) ran a much better race last start and is worth an each-way investment.
