Pace looks genuine from Tszyuya, He Is The Kiss and Zayyano, closely attended by Prize Witness. PRIZE WITNESS (9) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1700m at Ipswich. Well placed here and is the one to beat. The well-related ZAYYANO (4) (half to 2xG1 winner Grunt) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 0.6 lengths away in second over 1540m at this track. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish again. HE IS THE KISS (1) finished just a nose from the winner in second last start over 1205m at Coffs Harbour after racing in the leading division. Finds the right race this time and can take the next step and salute. TSZYUYA (7) was beaten 0.9 lengths into second at Gold Coast two starts ago then finished 5 lengths from the winner in fifth last time at Doomben. Settles off the speed. Suited here and can sneak into the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 9,4,1,7.
