GALWAY HUSSLER (2) wasn't far away when resuming last start, finishing third over 4f at Warwick. The extra journey should play into her hands. Finds the ideal assignment. OUR DRUMMER (16) did little and finished 10 lengths from the winner in 12th over 6f at Sunshine Coast last start, a less impressive effort than his tenth at Sunshine Coast the run before. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. KICKATINALONG (8) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 2.5 lengths over 5½f at Gatton last time out. Meets a tougher line-up this time but has winning claims. BUCKALTIUS (1) turned in a modest performance when seventh last start over 5f at Ballina, beaten 5.5 lengths after a good when resuming win at Gatton. One of the main hopes.
