Looks a class field lining up for this quality stayers event...Umrum is coming off a solid win in the teams tipping challenge....though crash and stix came home late and should appreciate the distance rise.....ijuandaQLD is another coming into this with a 1 against his name - winner of the recent Group Tipping comp which shows he is no mug when it comes to long distance performance....panther is venturing to the racing side of things following outstanding performances in the sports punting comp, wonder how the change of racing direction will affect him...another making a rare venture over is none other than the wily rabbitz, though it appears he only has one motive, albeit a long way out of range - maybe hes just needing a solid track workout before the 2nds comp?....jim curran and raw instinct were unusually disappointing in the teams tipping challenge and will be out to seek redemption...the consistent sportz has being doing an andrew johns lately just picking and choosing the events he will go in, the officials are letting it slide as the lack of match practise may get to him....also the man of the moment Chuck will be looking to win his 2nd Spring Tipping comp, after a demolition the record 46 strong field of contenders back in 2004......and of course there is the Maverick, one who will be looking to reproduce his form in the brisbane racing threads into here....and thats about it for the field wrap up sorry to those that didn't get look in
