UNDER THE LIMIT (9) hit the frame two starts ago at Mackay but ran below par last time when ninth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 7f76yards at Bowen after being in the firing line on the turn. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. GULF OF LION (5) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 2.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 4¾f at Cairns a week-and-a-half ago. Steps up in journey. Solid top-three chance. ECHO POINT (2) came from a long way back on straightening and finished 5.5 lengths away from the winner in third last start at Bowen over 6f87yards Has a very good record over this journey with two wins from four starts. Should be competitive. VENTURA OCEAN (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.6 lengths from the winner in third over 7f76yards at Bowen. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
