LUTON HOO (2) spiked her figures when beaten 1L here this grade/trip. She races forward and is in a sharp stable. Rates to go one better. THE WELLIAN (10) improved again missing a whisker at Beaudesert. That stacks up and he has weight relief. Peaks and is a chance over the longer distance. GUARDED OPTIMIST (9) also gets some weight relief and has been racing well without winning. He's been freshened and has tuned up for this with a trial win at this track. He's well in the mix back in trip. EL ASTEROID (8) resumed over 1550m at Murwillumbah, beaten 2.2L. He goes well second up and the inside barrier should advantage. He will also be around the mark. BOVIDAE (3) went okay here last time and may be the best of the rest.
