ESPRIT DU JOUR (10) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten half a length, over 6f at Gold Coast. Yet to miss the frame from four starts at the trip, including a win and should prove tough to beat. HOFFMAN (4) is back from a lay-off of 11 months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 6f contest at Sunshine Coast by a nose. Looks ready to run a big race following four recent trials. Profiles nicely. TIPSY TIGER (11) has been thereabouts all prep, last time out finishing second over 5½f at Gatton at the third run back. Should be poised just off the lead. One of the main contenders. GOT GUMPTION (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 5f at Toowoomba, beaten 4 lengths. Should be thereabouts.
