DEELOSH (7) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 6½f at Sunshine Coast after being in contention all the way. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. BRING ME FLOWERS (6) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 5f at Bowen. Open to plenty of improvement and can go on with it. AIDENABET (8) was in the placings when a length away from the winner last time at Rockhampton on a soft ground and gets some weight relief here. Should camp just off the leaders. Capable of testing this field. TYCOON BABY (5) ran below expectations last time at Rockhampton over 6½f, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Rates highly on best figures and has the blinkers removed. Should be in the finish.
