Eased off the arm in the early stages here two starts back, ALADDIN SANE (6) was doing his best work in the closing stages to get within 2m of the winner CASCATA. Chasing hard last start after being faced with a 50m back mark, he finds the right set up to cash in here.

OUR PETABILT (3) faced a 20m handicap last time out where she found the running line and tried to get warm in the closing stages as ICONIC IMAGE took them all the way. A gritty effort when parked two runs back, she can press forward here to issue the challenge.

CASCATA (8) will have the options as the lone second line runner and has been consistent in recent starts. Only a head from the winner ALDEBARAN FONZ last time out, she has claims.

MAROON BELLS (2) was safely into stride and worked to the front, fighting off the challengers to claim the Qld Trotting Derby last start. First up as a 4YO here, the inside gate aids her claims.

SELECTIONS: ALADDIN SANE (6), OUR PETABILT (3), CASCATA (8), MAROON BELLS (2)
SUGGESTED BET: ALADDIN SANE (6) to win
