Genuine tempo from Kisses From Kelly leading Our Mate Archie. WITH DISCRETION (3) went straight from 1400m to 2100m last start and rounded up his rivals with ease, scoring by 2.2L. Pike remains in the irons today and his last start effort rates highly. Carries more weight now but he ca repeat the dose. KISSES FROM KELLY (1) finished behind With Discretion last start and meets him a couple of kilos better. His front-running style is a big bonus and Cooper now hops on board. Drawn to find the front again and can make every post a winner. SHIMONOSEKI (10) couldn't bring up the hat-trick last start over 1650m and steps right up to 2200m for the first time. O'Donnell sticks and while she has drawn wide, that doesn't hurt with her racing pattern. Creates plenty of interest. OUR MATE ARCHIE (2) flew home to just miss as the favourite last time out. Out in trip now looks a good move and he can go one better. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Discretion can get the job done again.
