Verdict

NOLAN (2) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough for a race of this calibre. Yet to miss a drum in four spins around this circuit and can run a big race while fresh. Former NSW galloper RAMIUS (9) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what he faced down south. Respect any market confidence. SONECHKA (13) has put back-to-back wins together and it's hard to knock mares in form. Do not dismiss lightly. NO LOVE LOST (12) has hit the top-four in 12 of his past 13 starts and is usually thereabouts. Can earn some minor money again. SUPER FREEZE (7) next best from the inside alley.

Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd of 7 at Cairns Cl6-Sw on December 4 over 950m, slow going 1.5 len behind Sowilo Siren with 58.5kg at $6. The start before that eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Cairns Hcp on November 25 over 950m, 0.8 len behind Recruiter with 54kg at $3.90. Has ability and shouldn’t be too far away.
