FLYING IN STYLE did nothing to threaten last start at Townsville but is running at preferred distance, perfectly placed. BLACK FALCON last start winner at Townsville and is lightly tested at this distance, don't treat lightly. SMOKING ACE can claim the rails early if outjumps those drawn either side and won once this prep at Townsville three runs back, place best. FLAMING COMET won once this prep at Townsville nine runs back and ran sixth last start at the track, strong place chance.
