Verdict

CRAIGLEA OREO (4) saluted at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when second over 1m at Nanango, beaten 2 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. FINAL COMMENT (1) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1m at Emerald. Race sets up well for him. MASALI RAFFA (7) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 7 ¾f at Mackay, finishing third and beaten 1.5 lengths at $26. Top-three aspirations. VILLANDRY (8) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at Rockhampton but couldn't back it up last start when seventh, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 6f at Ipswich. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
