STATS (3) returns from a spell of six months and it is noteworthy that he has scored at his past two first-up appearances, last prep over 1250m at Cairns. Leading contender. FAMILY STAR (2) got well back over 1200m at this track last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 4 lengths away in fifth. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Justin P Stanley gets the best out of this eight-year-old gelding. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. YOUR TOO GOOD (4) is back after a break of four months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1000m at Sunshine Coast. Has a solid first-up record of two wins and four placings from six starts. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. GOSSIP TORQUE (6) held on well to finish second when first-up from a break last time out over 1000m at this track after leading for much of the way. Should backers a sight again.
