Gifted Gamer to roll forward and dictate terms. KHOR (5) has been plying his trade in metropolitan Melbourne contests and will find this assignment much more to his liking. Gets the services of Maloney in the irons to navigate from the wide draw and a return to the winners' stall would not surprise. AKROTIRI (3) returned in fine fashion with a strong Eagle Farm victory and Fenlon stays in the saddle. Again gets the benefit of her 2kg claim and should be right there at the business end. BESTOWER (9) finished runner-up over this track and trip last time out and is drawn to get a soft run in transit from gate three. Should be hitting the line with gusto. Former Victorian FULL OF SINCERITY (2) has been right there in both runs since joining the new stable and cannot be left out of calculations. THE IRISH (11) next in line from the Freedman barn. SUGGESTED PLAY: Khor to salute.
