It will be seven weeks between runs for IMA BOOTY SHAKER (7) which has faced the starter on three occasions since arriving in Qld. 3rd at her first appearance behind ALWAYSBJOY, she has won both subsequent runs, the latest with a 53.1 dictating mile. 2138 is the only query, if there even is one, with a several in the field facing the trip for the first time.

MISTER FREEMAN (2) has won two of his past three and will take his first look at the big deck under race conditions. Putting them away with a smart win in good time last start and posting a 16m margin, he can be close enough to the action to be thereabouts.

ZEEZEEZOOM (8) was forced to sit parked last start and was game to the wire as SWEET DIOR scored a strong win from the front. A winner in three of her five for the term, she has second line options to stake her claim.

DUKE OF ARGYLL (3) still has a bit to learn, but he showed that the ability is there with a last start victory from gate 1, running some smart closing panels. He is in the mix.
