Set Weights ITCHBLADE (5) finished third at Doomben two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 6¾f at Ipswich, finishing 9 lengths back in ninth. Has the ability to return to form. RUBAAHY (9) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 2 lengths when fourth over 6½f at this track six days ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MYSTERY POWER (6) hit the frame two starts ago at Dalby but ran below par last time when tenth and beaten 20 lengths over 6½f at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. CARPACCIO (1) returns after a lay-off of five months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 6f at Wyong. Now under the care of new trainer Barry Lockwood. One to consider.
