NEWELL BEACH (2) has been thereabouts on the picnic circuit this year and has a decent draw for this. If he copes with the track, then he will be right there at the business end. SAMPHIRE GREEN (4) is having his third start in North Queensland and is peaking at the right time for this. Hard to beat. NYTHE (3) may get few better chances than this to find the winners' circle, and a 2kg claim will help his cause. Each way claims from a handy gate. SWIFT SON (5) won a trial prior to a couple of battling efforts to start this campaign. He will find this easier and is ready to put his best hoof forward. THUNDER SHANGHAI (10) has been placed in 5 of her 13 starts, which is good form for a modest field like this. Each way. KANSAS SUN (1) did not fire at Ipswich last time out but will find this much easier. Stick with him.
