Overcame a wider barrier there so the good draw gives him every chance to go back to back. HORN PLAYER (5) was rewarded for his consistent form when he returned to the winners' list here last week, leading from a wider barrier to score by 7.6m over this distance. Can push forward again and is a big chance to go back-to-back. NYACK (10) has taken on stronger opposition in his two starts here since the Inter Dominion series where he placed in both his second round heat and the consolation. This is a more suitable assignment. CLASSIC MISSION (9) has claims having put together a string of top-two finishes, the latest a second to top mare Eye Keep Smiling. MAJOR PERRY (12) draws wide but must be respected off last week's second to Horn Player.

BETTERTHANCASH (2) enjoyed a class drop from the Brisbane winter carnival when a 5.6m winner at this circuit and distance in his first outing for Chris Judd. Overcame a wider barrier there so the good draw gives him every chance to go back to back. HORN PLAYER (5) was rewarded for his consistent form when he returned to the winners' list here last week, leading from a wider barrier to score by 7.6m over this distance. Can push forward again and is a big chance to go back-to-back. NYACK (10) has taken on stronger opposition in his two starts here since the Inter Dominion series where he placed in both his second round heat and the consolation. This is a more suitable assignment. CLASSIC MISSION (9) has claims having put together a string of top-two finishes, the latest a second to top mare Eye Keep Smiling. MAJOR PERRY (12) draws wide but must be respected off last week's second to Horn Player.

Race comment
BETTERTHANCASH (2) enjoyed a class drop from the Brisbane winter carnival when a 5.6m winner at this circuit and distance in his first outing for Chris Judd. Overcame a wider barrier there so the good draw gives him every chance to go back to back. HORN PLAYER (5) was rewarded for his consistent form when he returned to the winners' list here last week, leading from a wider barrier to score by 7.6m over this distance. Can push forward again and is a big chance to go back-to-back. NYACK (10) has taken on stronger opposition in his two starts here since the Inter Dominion series where he placed in both his second round heat and the consolation. This is a more suitable assignment. CLASSIC MISSION (9) has claims having put together a string of top-two finishes, the latest a second to top mare Eye Keep Smiling. MAJOR PERRY (12) draws wide but must be respected off last week's second to Horn Player.
