ASTRA STAR (2) has been about the mark of late including last start when second over 5½f at Rockhampton. Useful type who gets his chance. BETTER THAN WORDS (3) scored over this journey in a then failed at the longer trip last time when 13th in the LR Princess Stakes at Eagle Farm. Well-placed and can bounce back. LONHY'S FABRE (7) went forward over 6f at Mackay last time and held on for second. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Can sneak into the finish again. KOBAYASTAR (5) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 6f at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. This looks a good race for her so another forward showing looks likely.
