Although coming up with the second line gate, TYSON (11) has been meeting slightly stronger opposition to what he squares off against here. The tale of the tape shows that he has missed the money just once in seven outings since arriving, the latest when 2m away when ARRIVE charged late to score. This looks within reach.

LA CAVALETTA (3) has had three runs since changing states and arriving in Qld. Strong to the line first up when under 4m from the winner, both subsequent appearances have had merit. With good arm speed, he might just be able to get across here and from there give a sight.

MIKIS JOE (2) found the right set up here last week when finding the 1x1 trail and having just enough closing power to arrive for a narrow margin. Holding a spot from this gate, he has claims.

MY ULTIMATE COSSIE (1) made an early error that had him chasing the gate last time and was not too far from the winner. Going a little better than his figure form suggests, he is a place hope.

SELECTIONS: TYSON (11), LA CAVALETTA (3), MIKIS JOE (2), MY ULTIMATE COSSIE (1)
SUGGESTED BET: TYSON (11) to win
