Cabaletto, Shot Of Whiskey and The Gambling Greek to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. A good race. CONCESSION (3) has been racing in town before an impressive 4 lengths win in a 75 over 1000m at Gold Coast last time. Carries 2kg more, but he will race forward and is a decent chance to repeat. CABALETTO (7) is third up off placed efforts over 1000m at Eagle Farm. Last raced 22 days ago and has been kept up to the mark with a Doomben trial placing. The speedy mare tumbles in weight this grade with a 2kg claim atop, and that brings her right into it. LOST HIS BEANS (1) peaks and is going well enough to consider. Has a low gate, and Maloney stays aboard. Will get every chance. SPEEDY ONE (6) resumes for the premier stable and has won 2/3 fresh. Maps well with Thompson booked, and he's had a trial hit out at Doomben. The betting will be key with him. THE GAMBLING GREEK (4) runs along and is a handy galloper who has a key jockey switch to Jones. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Concession.
