HOLY CROWN (13) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 6½f at Townsville. The winkers come off now. Rates strongly and expected to go close. SAINT CAYETANO (7) saluted over 7f122yards at Port Macquarie at his most recent appearance on July 12. Lines up. For the first time for trainer Damien Rideout. Has ability and should be right in the finish. ALL TOO LUCKY (4) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 2. 25 lengths, over 5¼f here last time. Warrants plenty of respect. BRAZEN SAILOR (9) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at Sunshine Coast, beaten 5. 5 lengths into sixth. The engagement of Ryan Wiggins is a positive move. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
