A solid tempo on the cards with Express Payment heading them off. EXPRESS PAYMENT (2) grows a leg for hoop Bayliss who has three wins and two placings from just eight steers and will be high on confidence following that last-start Ipswich victory. Has saluted over this track and trip and looks the one they all have to run down. SMART AS SMART (7) has a handy record over this distance range with two wins and two placings from eight attempts and will be at peak fitness for this fourth-up from the spell. Looks certain to play a role in the outcome. TEXAS FIREBALL (5) found the frame in an improved performance last time out and rates a top-three contender on best form. KIRIKAN (8) doesn't win out of turn but has hit the top five in nine of his past ten starts and is one for the multiples. FEATHERTOP (6) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,7,5,8.
