JOHN'S ROAD (5) failed to figure again last time over 1m2f at Gold Coast Poly, beaten 10 lengths into eighth. Will appreciate the drop in grade. Better placed this time and is a genuine threat. THREDBO (12) is a 22-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 6f at Innisfail. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. THE GENERAL TALKS (2) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound third over 5f at Townsville. Stepping up a level this time but he is good enough to take this out. LOVES AFFECTION (4) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 7 lengths, after being in contention on the turn at her latest appearance over 4½f at Innisfail. Solid top-three chance on her best figures.
