DARK GLEAM (1) is a distance specialist who finished eighth two runs back at Sunshine Coast then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths as public elect after being prominent at the bend over 6f at Middlemount. Meets some better types this time but another win beckons. HEAD HONCHO (2) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 4¾f at Cairns. Among the leading chances. NOVELA (4) raced on the speed when resuming last start but peaked on his run on straightening and faded to finish 11th over 6¼f at Cairns. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will be in this for a long way. LET'S RIDE (11) was beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth in a 6½f contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
