CRESSBROOK (1) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at Sunshine Coast with success over 6f at Doomben two weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can make it back-to-back wins. SUNSHINE HIGHWAY (9) found the line nicely but never threatened over 6¾f at Doomben last time out when finishing midfield. Honest record at this distance and rates among the leading chances. RISK ASSESSMENT (8) was sent out at long odds when resuming last time but ran above expectations to finish second, beaten only one length, over 5f at Sunshine Coast. Should be poised just off the lead. Winning claims on best figures. MISS ZERMATT (11) returned from a break last start with an all-the-way win over 5f at Dalby, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Must be included.
