Verdict

HARBOUR CHILL (1) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when fourth over 1100m at Rockhampton, beaten 3 lengths. Has the talent to figure prominently. GOTTA HERO (2) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when seventh, beaten 18 lengths, over 1090m at Bundaberg. Should be peaking now and is among the main hopes. CHALKLEY (7) has not won for a long while. Last raced on September 3 when beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth at this track over 1200m after being in the firing line on the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. WATCHYA LANGUAGE (6) has solid claims first-up.
