I AM VOODOO (11) is better known as a poly track performer and he was an easy winner at the Gold Coast on that surface when resuming and then ran third there last time out in a handy lineup. He has 5 kilos less to carry this time and from a handy draw, he will be hard to beat in this. XPRESSO (3) won by a head here fresh up and then tried hard for fifth at Eagle Farm last start in a strong weekend grade contest. 1100 metres is his pet trip and he should be right in the finish. GEMELON BOLT (1) was a beaten favourite last start and did not appear to handle the poly track at the Gold Coast that day. He is much better than that and is beautifully placed at this level. Stick with him back on a turf surface. Each way. BITCOIN BABY (4) ran on late after making a slow start at Doomben just over 3 weeks ago. This is the easiest race that she has faced in a while and she is good enough to make her presence felt. Don't rule her out of winning this.
