TORABELLA (6) returns from a break of 11 weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1m at Doomben. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. MANHOOD (4) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 6f at this track, beaten only a head after being prominent at the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. TOWN CRIER (22) is unbeaten this campaign, the latest win coming over 6f at Gold Coast when he got home by a nose. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so he is among the leading chances. MINTAKA LAD (21) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 0.7 lengths at his most recent appearance when fourth over 6f at this track. Has a wide gate but he can figure in the finish.
