Only a small field with Etosha likely to find a comfortable lead. GEEGEE JET BY (1) got closer this grade last time and should be ready to show his best. Uses the rail and gets in well with the 3kg claim. Suited in this contest. ETOSHA (2) has on three of his last four and spaced them here this class last time from the front. Has a 3kg claim and is a chance to repeat. GREY WHISPER (6) won the 60 at Launceston as expected and then came here and wasn't far away the same grade. On the quick backup and with the weight relief can get into the finish. WARICA (3) has been around the mark for the same stable and also has claims. Races forward and keeps the handy 3kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Geegee Jet By.
