Anticipating that the small field will run along okay. GEEGEES HISWORD (1) bounced straight back winning the 76 over this distance. He keeps improving and has a handy 2kg claim this evening. He can make it three wins from his last four. CLIFTON DANSEUR (3) is a leader presenting from the same race. He faded late when beaten 2.8L and went down narrowly prior over 2400m. Gives himself every chance and should be right in the finish. KAY OH ELL (4) was plain the latest but went close the two prior. This is harder but she gets some weight relief and should be around the mark. AFRIDI (6) has placed his last two this journey also in lesser grade. Keep Newitt and is in the mix. ZULU ANGEL (2) has been running some nice races over a mile. Tackles a middle distance for the first time and is also worth a look. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Geegees Hisword.
