Tennessee Whiskey is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. Four last-start winners clash in a nice staying race to open the card. PUNJABI LANDING (3) had been going better than the form suggested before his impressive win last start over this trip at Eagle Farm where he came from last with a powerful finish. Up sharply in the weights but in this company can win again. JUSTICE SERVED (1) made it three wins on the bounce when he shouldered 62.5kgs to victory over today's journey at Grafton on Tuesday. Racing for the fourth time since 11 September but it is obviously doing him no harm. TENNESSEE WHISKEY (5) led all the way to comfortably take care of a Class 1 field over 2450m at Beaudesert recently. Very fit and if able to dictate will be tough to catch. WATERMELON (2) circled the leading division to win in a canter last Saturday on the poly over 1900m. Yet to win in ten runs on a turf track rated good which is a big knock. Big gap to PLANNED ENCOUNTER (7) who is best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Punjabi Landing to win. Box trifecta 1,3,5.
