A few on-pacers lining up so it should be keenly contested. RESURRECTED (1) appreciated the step up in trip last start when he led for home and defied all challengers in a similar race to this. Track conditions critical as he has won six races and all have been on rain-affected surfaces. DO IT FOR YOU (5) was six weeks between runs and went up sharply in grade but almost pulled off a third straight win when edged out by Resurrected here at this trip recently. Nicely drawn and gets a weight swing today so he can easily turn the tables. The consistent PRESSALONG (6) won over the mile at Grafton two back then caught the eye late over a shorter trip there last time. Worth plenty of thought stepping back up in trip. BEAN FOGGY (3) has struggled at his last couple in better company. Last raced in a BM82 three back when in the money over 1550m at Murwillumbah. Right in contention on that effort. Market watch on FLYING BAT (7) first-up from a short break with very little on his back after Heinrich's claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Resurrected and Do It For You.
