RACE SIX
BIG BANG LEONARD (8) will need some factors in his favour here, but if they fall his way, he can make the closing play a winning one. Forget his last run where he struck trouble, the start prior he found the line nicely behind MAKOA. At his Qld debut 3 back he was charging late and can again.
TOMEARA (4) resumes from a spell and was last seen in a strongly run 2138m during the Winter Carnival when fading late. The start prior he hit the line nicely to grab the silver and with a pair of trials to prepare for his return, the latest of those a sharp hit-out, this is well within reach.
CHAPTER ONE (9) struck trouble in the run last start when easing of the gate and from back in the pack, his chances ended. Beaten by gate 12 the start prior, he can settle closer here and has claims.
LIKEALLOFUS (1) went to the pegs last start from gate 11 and was too far back to make an impression as ZAHVEN BANNER dictated out in front. With the peg-line options, he is in the mix.
