BETTER BE READY (1) is backing up just 10 days after he was strongly fancied and finished second over 1m1f at Mackay. Has the inside gate and should be in the finish. CONVERTOR (2) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by one length at this track and trip last start to maintain his good form of late. Ashley Butler gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. Looks well placed so expect another big run. INNOVATES (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 14 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 7f at Cairns, beaten 1. 3 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. GRUMPYWANTSATISSUE (10) registered his first win last start over 7¾f at Mackay, getting home by 0. 7 lengths. Re-unites with Raul Silvera Olivera who was on board last start. One of the likely contenders despite the step up in grade.
