CRIMSON SKY (6) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 4.5 lengths away in ninth last time out over 5½f at Grafton two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. The one to beat in this line up. ROSE BETWEEN THORN (9) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when 11th, beaten 4 lengths, over 7f at Grafton. The engagement of Chris Whiteley is noteworthy. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. IS Set Weights EET (11) finds it hard to win but left a good impression last time out when beaten a head into second over 7½f at Kilcoy. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. INTOXEL (7) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing a nose away in second over 5½f at Grafton. Well-placed and worth including.
