SO NAIVE (1) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when second beaten 2.25 lengths (22.76). Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Likely to be in the finish again. MOONLIT SKIES (4) jumped cleanly from the rails last start to lead all the way and score (21.88) at Townsville in a Maiden over 380m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Expecting another bold showing. LITTLE NIFTY (3) still a maiden but rarely out of the finish recording six placings from eight starts. Missed the frame when fourth (23.17) at this track latest but was in the placings the start before. Likely to be about the mark. FIREBALL ERNIE (8) must be among the chances on the last run here.

Comments

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished eighth in a Grade 5 /MDN on June 17 over 383m at this track behind Birmingham, beaten 16 lengths (23.71). Below his best last time but looks well placed here. Worth another chance.

Returns from a nine weeks spell after being tipped out on the back of a sixth (32.28) over 537m at this track. Yet to win but has placed from two first-up runs. Looks a place chance at best.
