LOPE BY NIGHT (16) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished eighth after being in contention on the turn at his last appearance over 6f at Ipswich on December 3. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. HEROIC DELANEYS (8) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at her second outing, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 7f at Gatton. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LINTHORPE LUCK (2) was beaten just a long neck last start when fresh from a lay-off and landed his first top-three finish in the process at this track over 5½f. Looks close to a win and is among the main chances. BON ICHI (3) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 7f at Gatton. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
