GO GETABOY (1) finished 5.5 lengths adrift in seventh last time at Mackay in a disappointing performance. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HERNE HILL (6) made it three wins in a row last start when he scored by a head over 1400m at Townsville. Winning rider Gabrielle Semmens retains the mount. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. STRATHCONA (4) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by half a length over 1609m at Townsville last start. Strong record with Jackson Murphy aboard, including two wins. Should be involved in the finish. GULF OF LION (2) finished third when resuming two runs back at Innisfail then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1210m at Mareeba. Nicely placed to make it two on the bounce.
