On pace runners, 3, 4, 6, 7. JOSEPHINE OF TUFFY was kept fresh before her frontrunning effort in defeat was solid last start at Dalby. She can be expected to maintain her form when she returns to he her base tonight. CRUNCH TIME struggled when it counted at Eagle Farm last start but numerous gear changes have now been made and he's better suited here at his fourth start since a stable change, making a Toowoomba debut. FLIRTING WITH FIRE wasn't disgraced in the same Dalby race that was last contested by JOSEPHINE OF TUFFY and she is another who will now be better suited when she presents at home base. BLOOD RED has finished unplaced at all four starts since a spell but an awaiting distance rise can aid his cause this evening, aided by the claim for Julie Busuttin.
