In the small field Whistling Spirit or Family Of League should find the front. ZOU BIG BOY (2) seeks the hat-trick for the premier metro stable. He spaced a CL1 field at Toowoomba last time over 1625m, and fitter again should be winning. BETTER YET (3) won here this grade and trip 26 days ago, and there was plenty of merit in the effort. She can't be ruled out. WHISTLING SPIRIT (4) has been plainer in his last two, but his form prior would see him competitive. He may be the one to run them along and is back on grass. LASQUETI BOOM (8) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Zou Big Boy to win.
