The speedy Outishka should find the front with Kiribati and Smart And Dapper on her heels. NO STATEMENT (3) raced handy but didn't quite finish the race off as hoped when sixth over 1000m at the Kensington track last start. The key to his chances is coming back to 900m over which his record is hard to fault. Perfectly placed to return to the winner's list. Another distance specialist in OUTISHKA (2) poses the biggest threat. Led for home then extended for an impressive win in the 950m Moree Town Plate last time out. Goes extra well for apprentice Stapleford who is back aboard. Sure to give backers a great sight. KIRIBATI (4) has turned in a couple of poor performances recently on soft tracks in town. Eased out of the contest last time and pulled up lame. Freshened up and can bounce back. Veteran mare LEAVE ME SOME (8) retains a zest for racing with three consecutive top-two finishes. Gets back so this might be too short but she can run on into the placings. DEEP ROUGE (1) is another who might find this a bit sharp but is going well and can be thrown in exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing No Statement and Outishka.
