Mark Currie's six-year-old recorded three successive placings before he was beaten 2.5 lengths at Eagle Farm over 7 1⁄2 f last time.

Gaius comes in well after the claim and ratings suggest he can measure right up in this line-up at each way odds.

Ashgrove gets his chance to atone for a last-start defeat as favourite in the following event.

He was only 1.6 lengths off the winner last time and had missed by just a head at this track two back so is suited returning to this venue where his record is strong.

James Orman sticks and he will be reaching peak fitness fourth up so can atone.
