FEDERAL SAKI in strong form with three wins from 10 attempts this campaign and just missed when heavily backed last start at Rockhampton, big chance. GUS THE GREAT won last start at Rockhampton when first up and must be respected from this yard, still in this. CLEAR BLUE SKY won last start at Rockhampton and two wins from 13 attempts this campaign, sneaky chance. CAROL RAIN made ground late to win last start at Rockhampton and is lightly tested at this distance, looks threatening.
