Race detailsSTYLISH DIAMOND finished three quarters of a length back from the leader last start at Mackay when resuming and a Kris Hansen trained horse, leading hope. SPORT unwanted by the market but right up there last start at Rockhampton on a soft track and should run fitter for past attempts, consider in exotics. DAZZLING GEISHA from a good stable and placed when fresh, for the wider exotics. THE BARBER on debut, capable of getting into the money with a bit of luck.
