Winner AUD $11,000 - 18 runners
7 ½f
Going:
Surface: T
HOOKS (4) strode forward early from his wide draw over 7½f at this track last time, leading for much of the way before fading to finish fourth. Will take catching. SOCK'EMSID (1) knuckled down strongly to get within a head of the winner in second last start over 7½f at this track. Good record at this journey with two wins and three minor placings from five starts and is among the leading chances. CHEERFUL CAT (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 2.5 lengths when seventh in a 7f contest at Gold Coast two weeks ago. Has the ability to put the recent run of form behind him. LA MANO (5) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins but last start missed the frame when fifth over 6½f at Toowoomba. Won't find this as tough. Has to be respected in this company.
