ASHKIRK (5) returns for the Dunn yard. Wasn't far away on debut before the break and looks to have come on nicely since. Can return with a bang. FUNKY COLD MEDINA (2) improved last start but found one better over the 860m burner at Gatton, beaten a head. Strips rock-hard fit and gets his chance to break through. CHECKS'N'BALANCES (8) is yet to break through after six career starts. Managed to find the placings at Grafton two starts back when resuming before finishing fourth over 1206m at Port Macquarie last time. Should be in the mix. Change of scenery for LUCKY CRIMSON (11) with 46 days between runs. Better suited in this company and is drawn cosy. Worth keeping an eye on.

Gelding by Tagaloa making his first appearance. Trialled on April 21 at Gold Coast over 850m and finished seventh. Fitter for recent trials but likely to struggle.

Comes here off a 46-day let-up. Last start 10th of 12 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw on June 26 over 1400m, 13 len behind Creative Righteous with 59.5kg at $16. The race before that 9th of 14 at Stawell Mdn-Sw on May 18 over 2000m, in the wet; 19 len behind Epoch with 59.5kg at $81. Change of scenery with 46 days between runs could unlock him.
