PRIDE OF VENUS (6) was far from disgraced when third last start over 6½f at Rockhampton, beaten 0. 9 lengths. That followed a win at Rockhampton the start prior. Has the class to take care of this field. LETMELETGO (3) produced a good effort last start when second over 6½f at Rockhampton to make it four minor placings from seven runs this campaign. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Among the leading chances. ACROPHOBIC (2) settled towards the tail then wound up strongly to finish 1. 3 lengths away in second when resuming last start over 6f at this track. Record at this track is strong. One of the main contenders. PEPPERDINE (7) is back at the races for the first time since January 1. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6½f at this track. Boasts a when resuming record of two wins and three placings from eight starts. Sure to make his presence felt.
