PREFER TO DANCE (3) led and just failed to hang on last start over 2225m at Gold Coast on soft going when well supported to make it three minor placings from six runs this preparation. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. MAURITA (6) pushed forward from a wide draw when first-up from a break last time out and found the front, holding the lead for most of the way and sticking on well to finish third over 1600m at Eagle Farm. Expected to measure up again. SUNNY DISPOSITION (8) drifted back when resuming last time out and never got into the race when 4 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1200m at Eagle Farm. Should take a lot from that run and is a top-three candidate. BURLEIGH MAGIC (1) finished second last start over 1200m at Ipswich when he made late ground, beaten a neck. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out.
