Verdict

DANCE GAVIN DANCE (5) is still in his maiden prep. Made it three wins from seven when he came with a powerful finish to take out a similar race to this at Casino three weeks ago. Winkers on for the first time should keep him sharp. Can win again with Nash taking the reins. HEY DAISY (8) won a Class 2 over this trip at the Gold Coast two back then followed that up with a very good second over 1110m at Doomben last time. Big chance with a pinch of luck needed from a wide gate. SOOBOOCO (7) made a rare visit to the winner's enclosure recently when he led all the way to score comfortably over 1050m at Inverell. Draws the car park which is a concern but he should be thereabouts. MANPOWER (15) started at $1.70 but found a couple better when resuming over this distance at Toowoomba last start. Lightly raced three-year-old with a fine record at 1000m. Must be considered. DEBUSSY (1) has his share of weight but is good enough to test this field at the second run back.
