Verdict

MOOLOOLABA (3) saves his best form for this track and trip where he has five wins and four placings from just 12 attempts. Is much better than the recent effort suggests and can bounce right back to form against this line-up. ELLIS BEACH (6) has gotten better with each run this time in and that culminated with a solid Cairns victory at the latest outing. Can go back-to-back. RELEASE LE MISSILE (2) is a two-time winner over this mile journey and gets some weight relief with the 4lbs claim. In the mix. CENTRAL PARK (1) just missed the placings here last time and the step-up in trip should suit. Solid top-three prospects. JOE'S GIGGLE (4) next best in a race with only a handful of chances.
