OUTSMARTED (8) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by a long neck over 6f at Townsville. Record at this journey is impressive with two wins and two placings from six runs and is among the leading chances. Lay-off last start when second over 6f at this track, beaten 0. 6 lengths. KATHY'S BEAU (4) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 6f at Rockhampton. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. HURTLE (5) started at 5/2 last time but could only manage fifth, beaten 22 lengths, at Noorama over 6f. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. In the mix.
