Expecting Just Flying to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. JUST FLYING (3) grows a leg for hoop Guthmann-Chester who has two wins and two placings from just four steers and will be ready to peak now fourth-up from the spell. Saves his best form for this mile journey and should be right there at the business end. HABEEBAH (5) will strip fitter second-up from the break and gets the reliable Gollan/Jones combination. Looms as the main danger. LIBERTY STEPS (6) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome at the latest effort and is much better than that effort suggests. Can bounce right back. ALL'S FAIR (7) is a last-start winner who gets in light with the claim and draws the inside marble. Ticks a few boxes. NORTHERN DECREE (4) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 3,5,6,7.
