BREECHES (5) has been thereabouts, most recently when one length from the winner in third over 6f at this track. Should relish the extra ground and is among the leading chances. MISS COMANECI (7) is still a maiden after 14 starts. Could only manage to finish sixth last time out over 6½f at Mackay following a minor placing at this track over 1m the run prior. Should be in the mix. ELLIS BEACH (1) again failed to feature last start, finishing ninth and beaten 7 lengths over 1m1 1f at Tatura. Expected to feature if at his best. THE GENERAL TALKS (4) has registered three minor placings from four runs this campaign. Produced another good performance at his most recent run when second over 6f at Bowen. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
