LONE FORCE (10) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at Eagle Farm, beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth after being prominent at the turn. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. SPEAK NOW (2) lines up for the first time since August 4. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 6f at Beaudesert. Lines up. For the first time for trainer jesse townsend. Capable of playing a major role. TARADALE (13) impressed when successful on debut over 6½f at Beaudesert three-and-a-half months ago and has not raced since. Has since been kept ticking over with a Beaudesert trial win. Sure to play a major role. MALTALI (15) has four placings from seven outings this prep and last start finished a nose from the winner in second over 6f at Sunshine Coast. Don't underestimate.
