BRAVE MONARCH (1) broke through for his maiden win over 6f at Doomben last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and a bold showing is expected. PROVOKER (3) accounted for a maiden field over 6¾f at Doomben last start, finishing 2. 25 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Progressing well so worth following up. MEET GEORGE (2) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Doomben, beaten 2. 25 lengths into fourth. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HOSTILE LA VISTA (6) was in a different class last time out, settling well back before rounding up his rivals to score by 3. 5 lengths over 6f at Murwillumbah. Solid top-three prospects.
