SCUD has the speed to overcome a very wide draw and placed twice at Townsville but been unable to get a win, the testing material. JIMMY JAX placed as a favourite last start at Townsville but suited by the draw, in with a chance. HARA'S MERYL ran as favourite last start and placed at Townsville but has two placings from four runs this prep, dangerous. SORRY NAN only just missed last start, finishing a length back from the winner at Q1 Lakeside and could struggle at this T/D, capable of getting into the money.
