SATISFIED MUGS (3) is yet to miss the placings in three starts, including two wins. Has not been produced since he scored over 5f at Townsville on December 5. Has a high cruising speed. Will play a major role. GOLD CLASSIC (6) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 4 lengths over this journey at this track. Yet to miss the placings from three starts at this trip. Among the leading chances. RAFF VADER (2) didn't do a lot on debut three-and-a-half weeks ago, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in sixth over 5f at Townsville. Open to plenty of improvement. Expected to do much better. MR OREO (1) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 4¾f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Worth plenty of thought.
