VERDUN (5) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. Comes off a (19.07) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 6 over 350m at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. AMALFI BLUE (1) can keep on winning after a powerful last start success, getting around the 350m at this track in 18.69. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. BROTHER SAM (3) finished in the minors last time but only a few starts back pushed the clock when winning over 366m at Capalaba, taking a Grade 5 in a quick 19.83. Has the ability and looks a key chance. AFFLECK (2) was a surprise last-start placegetter who is in the mix again.
