IN EVIDENCE (1) comes here off a break of seven months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6f at Rockhampton. Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with four minor placings from four tries. Has ability and should be right in the finish. SCANTOON (6) is resuming from a break of ten months for a new stable after finishing eighth over 1m1/4f at Doomben at his latest outing. Brought up to the mark with a trial win at Townsville. Good fresh performer with a win and two minor placings from five runs. Expected to be in the finish. BARNEY RABBLE (3) is progressing well this campaign. Opened with a fourth at Rockhampton two starts back then landed the prize by 2 lengths as public elect last time out after being in the firing line on the corner over 6f at Thangool. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. TERMINUS (8) was beaten 7 lengths into eighth in a 5f contest at Home Hill a week ago. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
