PARADE GROUND (2) won fresh up at Rockhampton before weakening out of it last time out on the same track 9 days ago, where he could have choked down. The step up to 1560m third up will help, and if he can switch off during the run, then he can bounce straight back into the money. MOMENT OF TRUTH (7) bolted home to win fresh up at Thangool in February, and all 4 runs since then have had merit. She has the pole position this time and can take this out. MOON OVER MATILDA (6) was beaten by a nose here in her penultimate start and then won easily at a recent Bowen picnic meeting nearly 3 weeks ago. She is always an each-way chance at this level. OUR TURN NOW (4) tried hard as favourite when finishing second at Rockhampton 9 days ago. He slides down slightly in grade and with the aid of a 2kg claim, he carries less weight than last time. Stick with him. JUPITUS (1) will be peaking third for new trainer Ricky Vale, and that stable usually gets quick results. Each-way value.
