FORTRESS AUSTRALIA (3) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1200m at this track, getting home by a head. Winning rider Liv O'Donnell retains the mount. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. CANNY BE BETTER (9) was prominent on straightening and stuck on well to finish third last start over 1100m at Mackay, beaten 1.1 lengths when resuming. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PARADE GROUND (1) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 1.2 lengths over 1200m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and is expected to feature in the finish. PAPASITO (12) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 5.5 lengths away in seventh over 1300m at Mackay on July 26. Fitter for one subsequent trials, including a win. Has never been out of the placings first up from two tries. Drawn to go forward. Don't underestimate.
