PEAR BELLINI has two placings from six runs this prep and must be respected from this yard, cannot be ruled out. O'CALDINO let-up for six weeks and ran seventh last start at Sunshine Coast on a soft track, not without each-way claims. PROVEN RECORD ran on strong to finish on the winner's heels at only start at Beaudesert on a soft track, sneaky chance.

On pace runners will have an advantage as little speed engaged. STAR OF ASCOT yet to miss the placegetters in two runs and amongst the placegetters last start running second at Toowoomba, leading hope. LADY WINDERMERE came on to finish midfield last start at Gold Coast on a soft track and looks down to Saturday non-metro grade, place hope. PRIX DE LA HEART first start, place chance. NELSONS BAY ran fifth last start at Toowoomba on a soft track, chance to place.

Moderate tempo with little speed on paper. SIGNATURE TART back after 11 week break and gets the winkers on for the first time, hard to go past. SOCIALLY RED placed when fresh and blinkers come off for the first time, each-way claims. SIGLO DE ORO finished in the middle of the pack last start at Doomben when resuming. Will come to hand quickly and ran second when last second-up at Grafton, don't dismiss. RADIO WAVES first starter, don't treat lightly.

SCUD drawn ideally and won once this prep at Gold Coast seven runs back, serious player. AWAYGOESTHEBUNNY on a seven day back-up and gets the blinkers on for the first time, each-way claims. COSMIC BEAUTY won at big odds last start at Gold Coast on a soft track and has outstanding form at this track, don't dismiss.

VIERVILLE strong in winning last start at Aquis Park Gold Coast Poly and two wins from three attempts this campaign, the real danger in the race.
