MALBEC MAN (1) returned last time with a solid third at Cairns over 4¾f after being in the firing line on the bend. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BETTER BREAKOUT (3) was a new acquisition for the Joanna Hassett team last start when he made steady ground to run into third over 5½f at Mackay at the first run back from a lay-off. Expected to run well again. RED CITY SUN (7) ran below expectations last time at Mackay, finishing sixth and beaten 5. 5 lengths starting at 3/1. Likely improver with strong prospects. CHANCE (4) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing third over 7f at Cairns. Yet to win at the distance but has recorded two minor placings. Cannot be ruled out.
