Youthful Townsville trainer Matthew McGuire has his focus firmly on next month's Cleveland Bay sprint feature after another slashing win by Dio D'Oro at Townsville's Cluden Park.

Tolga trainer Sharlee Hoffman is hopeful Maquereau can snap a frustrating run of placings when the gelding starts at Townsville on Tuesday.

Despite the draw, Gary Portelli thinks Dio D’Oro will run well again but would love some sting out of the ground.
