FIELD OF MARS (13) is still a maiden after 11 runs. Was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fifth over 5½f at this track after he got a long way back in the run. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. VIKING VALOUR (6) finished third, beaten 0.6 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 4f at Kilcoy. Ready to go a couple better. PRIDE OF NALA (10) is backing up nine days after she was safely held in fifth over 4f at Ipswich against better opposition. Well placed to turn things around. SUNFYRE (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 4f at Kilcoy, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
