FICTIVE (5) returns after a break of a year. Finished last campaign with a second over 7½f at this track and can pick up where she left off on the back of a win in a recent Rockhampton trial. Has the blinkers applied. And should prove tough to beat. MOOCHI STARLIGHT (1) was prominent in betting when back from a break last start but could only manage to finish seventh over 5½f at Mackay. Generally runs well second up. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts him right in this. BECAUSE I CAN (6) is a filly Exceedance who cost AUD $ 25,000 (Magic Millions 2024 Gold Coast Horses In Training Sale) as a yearling and kicks off here. Fitter for a recent trial. Profiles well, worth watching for any market moves. RED ENVELOPE (4) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 2. 75 lengths when fourth over 5½f at Mackay. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
