PEAKING TOM (5) has been in great form with three placings in succession, most recently when beaten 2.25 lengths into third over 7½f at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent form. ONE PERCENT (4) went forward over 6f at Mackay last time and held on for third. Can spear across from the awkward gate. Will prove tough to beat. FINE AND RARE (1) has switched yards since finishing fifth a week-and-a-half ago over 1m1f at Sunshine Coast. Solid top-three hope. MOISSANITE (3) finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6f at Thangool, beaten half a length. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp.
