ATLANTIC RAIN (3) is in a purple patch of form with her third straight win coming last time out over 6f at Mackay. Ashley Butler aboard again and should be in the finish. BANG STICK (2) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 2 lengths away in fifth over 6¾f at Doomben on July 12. Faces a far less daunting assignment this time. Well placed and sure to run well. HONOURBEFORE GLORY (5) led from a wide gate last time over 6½f at Mackay but felt the pinch and faded out of it. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Capable of testing this field. SARAQAEL (1) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by a nose over 5¼f here last time. Has a solid record at this circuit. Deserves respect.
