On pace runners, 2, 6, 7, 10, 11. SHREDED must be forgiven for an unplaced first up Doomben effort when he became unsuited in transit. The third placegetter from his race was a subsequent start Eagle Farm winner and SHREDDED has scope to improve second up with a gear change made (blinkers off). MOSCOW CIRCUS finished unplaced but she wasn't disgraced when third up last start at the Gold Coast. Stepping up slightly in distance is expected to aid her cause today. VENON WOLF needs to cope with a switch back in distance however the form is already solid from the race he won last start at Coffs Harbour and today, after a three week break, 1300m can be okay. THE TORQUE XPRESS returns to Ballina (where he's proven), with gear changes made and with a last start Gold Coast unplaced effort which can be forgiven!
