MISHANI EMPIRE (8) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 1.4 lengths from the winner in fourth over 5½f at Sunshine Coast Poly. Should improve sharply and this looks a nice race. MISHANI HITMAN (3) finished second last time over 5f at Sunshine Coast Poly to make it three minor placings from five career runs. Has weighed in at all two tries over this distance. Among the top chances. BUTWEDID (1) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 5 lengths when seventh over 5f at Eagle Farm. Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. THUNDEROUS (5) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 6¾f at Wyong, beaten 5 lengths into seventh. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
