GREYZOUS faded to finish eighth last start at Doomben and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Should race on the speed. Forward showing no surprise. BLITZBURG having first start for a new trainer. Should race on the speed and drops 2kg from last run. One of the main hopes.

DOMINANT DARCY winner of last two at Doomben. Likely to race on the speed. Clearly the one to beat. ZOUFANI has a lot of early speed and rates well in these conditions. Well placed.

THE AUTUMN AFFAIR last start winner at only start at Gold Coast but steps up to Saturday company at a metro level. From a strong camp. Can threaten. ESPERANZA has won or placed in both races so far and down in weight. A good chance.
