BANK BOOK (9) returns after five-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 12th over 6f in the LR Bill Carter (Lancaster) Stakes at Doomben. Opened last prep with a minor placing at Sunshine Coast Poly over 5f. Looks forward enough following an impressive trial win recently. Looks the one to beat. AQUATEMPO (8) is back after a break of ten months. At the last run before the layoff she finished eighth over 5½f at this track. Looks ready to run following a minor placing in a recent Eagle Farm trial. Has ability and is a solid chance. BOARD MEMBER (1) finished second last time over 4f at Ipswich when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 1.5 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CHEEK TO CHEEK (6) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in third over 4f at Ipswich. Can figure in the finish.
