KOOL BRUCE (15) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 800m at Ipswich. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. MARATHIA (7) is yet to break through after four career starts. Managed to find the placings at Gatton two starts back when resuming before finishing fourth over 800m at Ipswich last time. Among the leading chances. PLEA (12) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 870m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. LOVE TO ALL (13) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when fourth, beaten 4 lengths, at Ipswich over 800m. Looks a definite top-three candidate.
