MORDECAI (4) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 29 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1m1f at Mackay, beaten 4 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. ODEGAARD (5) was a narrow winner by 0.9 lengths at Townsville in a then second at Cairns last time. Gets a little weight relief. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and two minor placings from five starts. Leading contender. KINGS CASTLE (1) started at 9/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing tenth and beaten 6 lengths at Mackay over 1m2f. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. The engagement of Wanderson D'avila is a positive move. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. READ 'EM AND WEEP (8) was beaten 1.5 lengths into seventh in a 7½f contest at Cairns last time out. Nicely placed to find some form.
