Little early speed on offer so Furneaux should be prominent. MAKE A DECISION (3) peaks and has threatened his last two. Tumbles 5gs in weight, and that brings him right into it. WINNING WITNESS (4) looked a run short on resumption and has won 2/2 second-up. Carries a feather with the 3kg claim and she should go close. CHARLIE BUCKET (1) resume and flies fresh. The speedy galloper has trialled well and a bold return is likely. FURNEAUX (2) won two back and then raced forward here beaten 2.6L. The top hoop replaces the 2kg apprentice and he's a decent chance to bounce. ESPRIT DIVA (5) is hard to catch but is capable of making the finish if she puts her best foot forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Make A Decision.
