It's a shame that Queenslands crown jewel in racing is continually saturated almost every year, the sad part is if it was 2 weeks earlier or a week or so later and it would be as dry as a bone.

The rain has made a mess of this race IMO but here goes anyway.

1. Double Dare: really like him in this race but I didn't ant to see it worse than dead I amlready on him so we'llsee what happens if it dries out a bit he is right in this.

2. Diplomatic Force: liked his run in the goodwood when getting through where noone wanted to be his 1st run in brissie was a cracker when not beaten far by El Cambio think he will handle the track and don't think the trip holds any fears, the barrier is no blessing but they can win from out there so I amnot real worried there he is my bet today.

3. Casino Prince: No explanation needed here he is in great form and isn't harshly treated at the weights whatever beats him I think wins the race.

4. Hard to Catch: yea I know his form doesn't look great but his runs are better than they look, if he can stay out of trouble in this I think he is a roughie with a chance to get into the placings he'll be hitting the line hard and is alot better than the 80-1 which is on offer on sportsbet.

5. Atapi: he is flying bad luck last start he has to lift another level here I feel but the odds will be there if you like him.

These are my top 5 I have plenty I could have included but this is what I like one I was reluctant to leave out was El Cambio but the wet track worries me with him.
