FAT FINGERS (10) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 7f at Beaudesert, finishing fourth and beaten 0.7 lengths when she did her best work late. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. BIRMINGHAM (17) turned in a strong run last time at the first run of the prep when he settled well back before running on hard to be beaten only a long neck into third over 6f at Gold Coast Poly. Strong effort last time and is worth following up. ITZA MOTZA (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when 12th, beaten 6 lengths, over 7f at Sunshine Coast. Has further improvement to come and is capable of sharp improvement. COUNT NICHOLAS (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Beaudesert, finishing second and only a neck from the winner at the end of 5½f. Nicely placed to run well.
