HEFFERNAN BALE finished six lengths off the winner last start at Rockhampton but has good 24.75 run here, genuine contender. FARMOR ROGUE expect to lead having drawn the rails and must respect a Steven Scott trained dog, for the wider exotics. DUNDEE COOPER goes well at Rockhampton, consider in exotics. CANE SMOKE won once this prep at Rockhampton 11 runs back and ran six lengths back from the winner last start at the track, include in exotics.
