Reasonable tempo with Nottington Prince probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. EXODAS (4) has been in great form winning the last two in the same grade. Will race close to the speed and can bring up a winning hat-trick. INSTA WORTHY (5) has been in great form as well, the latest unable to hold off Mister Doobee late. Meets that galloper a couple of kilos better and can turn the tables. BETTERLUCKNEXTTIME (1) is a former Birchley galloper making debut for the new yard and is coming off a last start placing at Rockhampton. Can measure up to this. MISTER DOOBEE (3) won this grade last time so don't underestimate. RAFF VADER (7) was a winner of easier in the latest but worth including with the big drop in the weights. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Exodus.
