The race lacks early speed so doubt they will go too hard. SWITCHBLADE (5) didn't run on at Ipswich on a wet track but the 2.3L defeat at Doomben prior stacks right up. Peaks and tough to beat if things go his way. RUBAAHY (9) was back to form beaten 2L here 6 days ago. Will carry a feather at this level with a 3kg claim atop and has decent claims. MYSTERY POWER (6) bucked at the start on the same day and was out of contention. He was tracking well prior and has an inside barrier and a handy 3kg claim. HONGKONG HARMONY (10) has switched barns and resumes off a Taree Maiden win. He's placed 2/2 fresh but the 2kg claimer has to manage a sticky barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Switchblade.
