DROPPING GEARS ran 18 lengths back from the winner last start at Rockhampton but has good 28.46 run here, one of the main hopes. DANCE THAT TIDE can claim the rails early if outjumps those drawn either side, capable of getting into the money with a bit of luck. RUPEE RANGER perfectly drawn on the rails and is the one to catch, for the wider exotics. SPIKE MILLINGTON has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw and should run fitter for past attempts, consider in exotics.
