Verdict

Difficult race with so many first-up. Consistent mare OOHLALOUVRE (6) gets the nod at her first run in six months. In the money at all three fresh runs. Performed well in town last prep including a win over this distance at Eagle Farm. Looks the safest option in a test for punters. CUTEPI (3) returns from a six-month spell for Kris Lees. Best form comes over a little more ground but while a bit on the new side from an inside draw she can make her presence felt. AGENDA SETTER (2) bolted in over today's journey on the poly track here when last at the races on 1 May. May have a little residual fitness. On-pacer who is right in contention. The speedy LOKEN (8) returns after a 15-week absence. Opened last prep with a win over 4f at Kilcoy. Might prove tough to catch under the light weight. MISSILE ONE (5) loves racing here at this trip and usually comes to hand quickly so don't rule her out first-up from an 11-week spell.
