LUCONI from a good stable and placed twice at Ipswich but been unable to get a win, genuine contender. HERALD ANGEL in strong form with two wins from six attempts this campaign and coming off a win at Grafton on a soft track, include in exotics. DATA LEAK looks down to non-metro grade and won once this prep at Toowoomba five runs back, consider in exotics. SIR BEVERIDGE has two placings from three runs this prep at metro level and faded to finish on the winners' heels last start at Gold Coast, outside hope.

HIT A LICK has two placings from five runs this prep at metro level and from a strong camp, has solid claims. TRAMCA must respect a Chris & Corey Munce trained horse and placed when fresh, consider. STAR ROUGE ran one and a half lengths back from the winner at only start at Doomben, dangerous. DEFIANT CODE ran one and a half lengths back from the winner at only start at Doomben, sneaky chance.

FROSTNIP first-up after 31 week break and trial win in the 223 days since last race adds confidence, genuine contender. MERCATELLO from a good stable and comes back to race in non-metro, among the chances. URBAN LAD first-up after 20 week spell and trial placing in 145 days since last race adds confidence, should be thereabouts. LIFE AFTER LOVE from a good stable and racing back at non-metro class, in with a chance.

VEOMAS just missed when heavily backed last start at Ipswich and from a good stable, a winning chance. WORTHY STUNNAH should find the lead easily having drawn well and should run fitter for past attempts, can figure. STAR OF ASCOT draws to do no work and expect to lead, the real danger in the race. TIVACIOUS first starter and must be respected from this yard, cannot be ruled out.

KEEP IT REAL must be respected from this yard and placed when fresh, genuine contender. MEET GEORGE placed when fresh at metro level and steps down to company at a non-metro level, should be thereabouts. BRUMAL on a seven day back-up and trained at an astute stable, could threaten. ANOTHER CASHIE takes the step down to non-metro grade and from a good stable, don't dismiss.

KING EMPEROR can't knock the form winning two in a row at Sunshine Coast and Ipswich, commands respect. ALL ABOUT ARTIE gave nothing else a chance to win last start at Gold Coast. Draws to do no work and expect to lead, must be considered. STERN DISPUTE won last start at Grafton and from a good stable, can figure. ABRAHAM must be respected from this yard and won once this prep at Toowoomba three runs back, a real threat.
