Papasito has shown solid form this prep despite a tough draw.
The lightly-raced three-year-old from Clinton Taylor has placed in all seven starts, including a solid win at Rockhampton, and should benefit from dropping to 1300m and the soft conditions.
Major Artie is progressing well towards this distance for Jared Wehlow.
The Artie Schiller gelding has been unplaced in three Rockhampton starts since resuming but faded only in the final 150m last time.
He’s better suited to 1800m and generally improves later in his prep.
Whitsunday Session, drawn inside, is a strong contender here.
She was disadvantaged by a wide run on return at Rockhampton but finished strongly to place third.
Her debut win in March was impressive, and with further improvement expected from her recent trials, she should be tough to beat.
