BELVEDERE BOYS (5) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.2 lengths over 1m2 1/2f at Eagle Farm. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from five outings. Top chance again. MISS JOELENE (4) came from well back on the corner to score last time out over 1m1f at Sunshine Coast. Expected to be there at the business end. LOCH EAGLE (1) saluted at Eagle Farm two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when fifth over 1m1f at Sunshine Coast, beaten 1.3 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. ENCODER (11) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner in second over 1m1f at Sunshine Coast. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
