ELLIS BEACH (6) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with success over 6¼f at Cairns two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1. 3 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Likely to be there at the finish again. RELEASE LE MISSILE (2) drifted back and never got into the race when 6 lengths from the winner in ninth last start over 7f at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Leading contender. MOOLOOLABA (3) finished 7 lengths adrift in 13th last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including five wins. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. CENTRAL PARK (1) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fourth over 7f here last time. Was outdashed but got going late and appears suited by the longer journey. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
