READY AND LUCKY (15) is back from a lay-off of six months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 6f contest at Doomben by 1.75 lengths. Key runner. MILTON ROAD (7) finished 2.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 5f at Eagle Farm two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Will play a major role. DATA PATCH (2) showed good early dash and raced on the speed at the first run back from a break last start before fading to finish 3 lengths back in fourth over 5¾f at Gold Coast Poly. Will give backers a sight. LUNAR EIGHT (17) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start over 6f at Gold Coast, beaten a neck. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
