EXPLOSIVE DRAGON (1) finished third as favourite last time out over 6½f at Toowoomba, making it two minor placings from three starts this time in work. Not far off a win and he should be involved in the finish. HEAVENWOOD (8) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 1.5 lengths when fourth over 5¼f at Gold Coast Poly. Improvement to come and this is her chance to break through. AIKAU (11) resumes from a lay-off of five months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 5½f at Sunshine Coast Poly. One of the leading chances. SUENITO (4) finished 14 lengths from the winner in eighth at his most recent outing over 5½f at Doomben. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
