BOONAH FLASHER (4) was well fancied last start over 4f76yards at Toowoomba when second, beaten 5.5 lengths. Comes down a level this time. Should be in the finish. CRYPT DE PIN (6) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 7f at this track. Nicely placed and expected to go well. CHIEF BY (1) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 4f at Kilcoy when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 1.5 lengths. Nicely placed to go a couple better. ICHIKA (7) returns after eight months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 6f at Newcastle. Solid top-three hope.
