OBLIGATED (2) made some very good progress last prep and will be even stronger now. All of his 3 career wins have been on this track, and he can make full use of the pole position to get handy early on. Top hoop Ash Butler picks up the ride, and the pair will be hard to hold out in this. LONHY'S FABRE (4) resumed with a solid effort at Rockhampton nearly 3 weeks ago. He has the blinkers on for the first time, and with the aid of a 1.5kg claim, he can improve sharply. Each-way. WELL HELD (1) is a very progressive gelding who is resuming from a spell with a recent trial under his belt. He has earned his top weight and can win a race like this fresh up. MORE STYLISH (6) was back in form after starting from a better gate at Rockhampton 9 days ago, finishing third. She has a good record on this track, and with the benefit of a 2kg claim, another top 3 finish is likely. UNDER THE SHADOW (5) resumes from a spell and is more than capable of figuring in the finish. Include in all multiples.
