THE DRILLER (6) did little and finished 6 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1m2 1/4f at Doomben last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at this track the run before. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. ACROPHOBIC (4) finished 1.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 5½f at Rockhampton when fresh from a lay-off. Tackles a longer journey this time. Among the chances. CASHIN' CHEX (2) worked home well and finished third last time over 6½f at this track when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 0.6 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. FROM THIS MOMENT (8) scored last start at Townsville to make it three wins from three starts this campaign. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with three wins from four runs and is not to be discounted.
