YAMABUSHI (1) built on a nice second two starts back at Cairns with a win as public elect over 1200m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by a long neck. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. DESERT GRIT (6) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1200m at Innisfail when he was always up in the leading division. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ALABAMA MOONLIGHT (2) didn't do a bad job when second last start over 1250m at Cairns, beaten a head. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has the ability to find the winners' list. NO LOVE LOST (3) fought on for third last start over 1250m at Cairns, beaten 4 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
