MASTER SHOWMAN (2) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Stuart Kendrick yard. Resumes after finishing fourth at Warwick Farm at his last run six months ago. Fitter for placing in a Sunshine Coast Inner Track trial and looks well placed. Leading prospect. MOUETTE (3) showed good early dash before weakening to be beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth over 5½f at Doomben last time out. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. BETTER BE NORDY (6) returned from a lay-off seven weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into sixth over 6f at Doomben. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. . And looks close to a win after finishing a close second last time out over 5f at sunshine coast. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Solid claims on best form.
