KAREEM (1) did little and finished 5 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1m1/4f at Doomben last start, a less impressive effort than his eighth at Eagle Farm the run before. This is a nice drop in grade so he is perfectly placed to score. EL ASTEROID (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 22 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1m4 1/4f at Beaudesert. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. ACES UP (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1f at Sunshine Coast, beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. TUQIRI (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/2f at Ipswich, beaten 5 lengths into seventh. Nicely placed to find some form.
