Legin to take charge ahead of Pacific Reel at a solid tempo. HE IS THE KISS (3) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.4 lengths away in second over 1200m at the Gold Coast. Finds a more suitable contest and can take the next step and salute. GENERAL GORDON (2) resumes from a spell of six months and is having his first outing under new trainer Ben Hull. Finished sixth at Ballina over 1250m at the opening run last time in work. Ran fourth in a trial at Gold Coast over 1000m recently. Definite winning chance this line-up. PACIFIC REEL (6) is a eight-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent outing over 1400m at Coffs Harbour. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. FRENCH RIVIERA (8) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Gold Coast, beaten 5 lengths into eighth. Finds a nice race and can atone. COMEON KINGWILLIAM (1) sound return when second in the small field. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: He Is The Kiss looks ready to get off the mark at start forty-eight.
