RHETORIC (1) gets the top billing after two BM65 runs that read better than the finishing positions. He was wide throughout when beaten a length and a half at this venue two starts ago, then again covered ground at the Sunny Coast. Drops back slightly in grade and gets a 3kg claim helping to offset the topweight. Can land a winning blow this time. ENCOURAGED (4) is the main danger, especially with his last-start Sunshine Coast sixth carrying excuses after being steadied and racing keenly, while his prior Lismore fifth in a BM66 was a narrow defeat as favourite. I STOLE IT (3) brings honest figures, handles soft ground and has a solid record over this track and trip, though he has not converted those chances. PACIERA (5) arrives off a strong Sunshine Coast win over Clubhouse and should be at her top now third-up. Can go on with it. ARCHERS REIGN (10) gave a bold sight on the Poly third-up but was reeled in late. Added fitness helps and he can give a sight.
