Stake: $22,680

ALMIGHTY JAB (1) has come of age this year since resuming from a spell and made it 3 wins from his last 4 starts when showing a quick turn of foot to arrive from last and score comfortably at Townsville 18 days ago. He did win over this shorter trip of 950m fresh up and can complete a hat-trick. KICKAGOAL KENNY (3) won over this trip by a nose on this track second up last prep and is resuming from a spell that would have done him the world of good. The winkers are on for the first time, and from a good draw, he can threaten the top pick, especially if the track is rain-affected. HAND GRENADE (5) is resuming from a spell and saves her best for this track. She was runner-up in a recent trial and only needs a wet track to be very competitive fresh up. I'LLTELLYOUSO (2) is a stablemate of the top pick and gives her trainer a strong hand in this race. She has had a freshen up that would have done her no harm and can take this out. GREY POWER (4) is usually thereabouts, so include.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.5 len at Townsville 3yo Hcp April 27 over 1200m in soft going defeating Head Honcho carrying 57kg at $3. The start before that favourite; won by 2 len at this track Cl1 April 10 over 1250m defeating Looming One carrying 57kg at $1.55. Shapes as a top chance on recent form.

Useful type. Last start in a small field at this track 3yo Hcp on April 19 over 950m, slow going 6 len behind Brave Eddy with 57kg at $2.90. Before that 5th of 9 at this track Bm60 on April 10 over 950m, 4.5 len behind Lady Damus with 55kg at $14. Best form stacks up so she can bounce back.
