COAT OF ARMS (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish a head away in third over 5¼f at Toowoomba. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be underestimated. CELESTIAL SOL (4) did little and finished 5 lengths from the winner in 12th over 6¾f at Doomben last start after being prominent at the turn, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Doomben the run before. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. BRAVE WARRIOR (6) resumes from a lay-off of five months after closing off last campaign with three consecutive minor placings. Should be prominent from the outset. Winning claims on best figures. TOP BIRD (8) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish eighth, beaten 8 lengths, over 5½f at Ipswich. Solid top-three prospects.
