RACE COMMENT
GEM PUNTER PETE (3) backs up from Saturday night where he was searching for a passing lane gap and just missed the minor money behind JUNGLE DRAGON. Holding on for the bronze behind FINAL DEADLINE at these conditions two starts back, he finds the chance to cash in. OUR SUNSET DELIGHT (7) was sent around to sit parked here three starts back and was fighting to the wire when just 1m from the winner SEND IT. Striking trouble when the tapes released at his next appearance, he finds the right standing start assignment to challenge. GREASED LIGHTNIN (5) is a newcomer to Qld joining the Darrel Graham barn and arrives with impressive NZ credentials. A last start winner that has trialed on good order, he stays under notice. MANILA PLAYBOY (9) has been hitting good areas since returning from a spell but faces a task here from the 30m back tape. Chasing home for 3rd behind THE JANITOR last start, he can join in.
