RYLOV (1) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1200m at Rockhampton when beaten 1.75 lengths. Meets a tougher line-up this time but he is right in this. SINGULAR (4) stepped up in trip to 1300m last time at Gold Coast and ran below his best, finishing 4 lengths away in sixth. Freshened up so worth another chance. GRAND CRUSADER (5) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 1050m at this track. Likely improver worth including. COUNT NICHOLAS (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at Gold Coast, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
