ASCEND KALMIA chased strongly to win last start at Townsville. Perfectly drawn on the rails and is the one to catch, tough to beat. CAWBOURNE SLICK can claim the rails early if outjumps those drawn either side, not without each-way claims. FEDERAL BLAST has outstanding form at this track and in strong form with six wins from 13 attempts this campaign, each-way claims. FUEL THE FIRE can claim the rails early if outjumps those drawn either side and two wins from seven attempts this campaign, sneaky chance.
