PLEA (4) is closing in on a win, last time out finishing second over 4f76yards at Toowoomba when just 0.8 lengths from the winner. Drawn well and is one of the main chances. LADY ZAYDI (9) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 5 lengths into fourth over 5f at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but she deserves plenty of thought. PADAM PADAM (2) is a seven-start maiden who could only manage to finish ninth at his latest appearance over 5f at Ballina. Worth including in this suitable contest. CROATIAN QUEEN (8) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 2 lengths, after being in the firing line on the bend at her latest appearance over 5f at this track. Solid top-three chance on her best figures.
