MIDDLE CHILD (6) showed little early dash last start but found the line strongly to get up for third, beaten 0. 6 lengths, over this course and distance. Generally performs well here and has registered three minor placings. Right in this. MONTY ROAD (2) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 3. 5 lengths when fifth over 4¾f at this track. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. ANY NEWS (1) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound third over 5f at Townsville when he made late ground. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. SUPER STEVEN (4) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 4¾f at this track when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
