Not a great deal of speed on paper so it may be left to one of the first starters to take it up. KEEN OBSERVER (6) was well backed on debut last start over 1017m at Moe and finished second, beaten a head as the $2.30 favourite. The rise in trip will suit this son of Ole Kirk nicely and Shinn going on is another positive. Looks very hard to hold out. AVENGERS (2) resumed with an even run at Sale over 1000m behind a handy one, finishing midfield. He should improve sharply off that and take some catching. SOMETHINGS BURNIN' (15) resumes. He showed ability last time in but does draw to get a long way back, watch the betting for a lead. ALCHEMISTIC (1) is a gelding by Shamus Award on debut for the Dabernig yard who has jumped out very well leading in, expect he gives this a shake from the inside. I AM JUSTICE (12) is a well bred I Am Invincible filly for the Maher yard who has jumped out well and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen Observer on top.
