Group 3 placegetter RINGER'S REWARD (7) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 23 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1m at Townsville, beaten 4 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason she cannot get the major prize. VIENNAWAITSFORYOU (8) hit the frame two starts ago at Rockhampton but ran below par last time when ninth and beaten 5 lengths over 1m at Townsville. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BEAU RAIN (2) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1m at Townsville to make it two in a row. Should measure up again. OBLIQUITY (10) turned in a modest performance when eighth last time out over 1m at Townsville, beaten 4.5 lengths, after a win at Rockhampton at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
