Off the inside draw Sky Land should boot up and lead at a solid tempo. THE LONGEST YARD (1) won here and then repeated the dose at Hobart. Carries more weight stepping up to a mile, but on a quick back-up he can win again. LI'L HAIL MARY (4) placed at Hobart over this distance and is busting to win. Has a wide gate, but the leading hoop sticks and that's a plus. KIREINA MARUBRAH (3) is going well enough and three back led beaten a whisker this track/trip. Maps well and has to be considered. RUBICK'S AFFAIR (9) needs a good ride from the 2kg claimer but her effort two back was good. Came back to a sprint last time and forgive. ROMANESCO FRESCO (13) led and posted a strong number at Hobart two back and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with The Longest Yard.
