RUN FREDDIE RUN (2) had no luck last time out after being trapped wide from a tough gate and understandably dropped out to finish sixth at Townsville. His effort at Mackay prior is the guide to use and from a superior draw here, he will be the one to beat. MARCH MADNESS (4) ran on late even though he finished at the rear of the field in a 5-horse field over a mile at Townsville and will be spot on with his fitness after having 3 runs back from a spell. He has been crying out for more ground and gets his chance to break through over a middle distance for the first time. MISHANI BURN (5) has been trying to win a race for some time and fought on well when finishing runner-up in the same race as the second pick. He has the pole position and is worth including in all combinations. THE GENERAL TALKS (6) should be suited by a middle distance and he is capable of a top 4 finish in this field.
