LOCHINVAR DUDE just missed when heavily backed last start at Townsville. Speedy type who is drawn to carve across and be right there, hard to go past. BLUE MOON PARTY coming off a win at Townsville and has good 29.07 run here, each-way claims. PARTY DON'T STOP won once this prep at Townsville five runs back and ran fourth last start at the track, in with a chance. FIRST ON BASE can claim the rails early if outjumps those drawn either side and must respect a Tony Parker trained dog, cannot be ruled out.
