A strong gallop is likely with Baggage Handler and Ferrari Girl taking up the running, closely attended by Xspiritous and Rubi Air. XSPIRITOUS (5) peaks and has been threatening a win in CL3s. She has her first try on the synthetic and gets her chance in this lineup. BAGGAGE HANDLER (1) is up from Wodonga and creates plenty of interest. Two back, he was an easy 58 winner at Albury first-up and then was in the market at Moonee Valley and had excuses. He owns a trial win, and Souquet comes to ride. Keep very safe. MISS SCOOP (6) was quickly back on track, placing at the Sapphire Coast in a CL3. Keeps the handy 2kg claim and has claims if the awkward barrier is managed. WEGOTABETTERHOFFA (7) has been around the mark and went well enough here two back. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Xspiritous.
