Verdict

Doubt there's too much between the best of them. STARZAM (2) switched barns and resumed in a country Open in good shape before being outgraded at Eagle Farm. This is much more to his liking and his figures over a mile are compelling. A stable favourite rides today and he can win with average luck from the awkward barrier. SMART AS SMART (6) was back to his best belting the 62 graders by 3L this track/trip at short odds, before a plainer effort at the Sunshine Coast over longer. He draws handy and carries 3.5kg less. A bounce isn't out of the question. SIR LAMORAK (1) hasn't won for an age but there was a lot to like about the 1.2L defeat at the Gold Coast in better grade. He'd be a player holding that form and carrying a kilo less with the 3kg claim. SCHOONA THE BETTER (7) has had three starts since a 662-day break and he was beaten 1L this grade/trip at the Sunshine Coast last time. Maps for a soft run and deserves consideration.

Useful type. Returns from a 40-day let-up. At the latest run couldn't go on with it; 11th of 13 at Doomben Bm70 on August 24 over 1615m, slow going 8 len behind Victory Win with 55kg at $26. The run before that 2nd of 9 at Doomben Bm65 on August 7 over 1640m, on a slow track; 0.7 len behind Free Carry with 57kg at $12. Freshened and can get back on track.
