Tricky, given the lack of early speed.
WINSTON SMURFHILL (2) has a handy record over this course and distance with three wins and two seconds from seven attempts and will be high on confidence following that last-start victory. Winning hoop Wheeler sticks in the stirrups and should be going very close again. CELESTIAL FURY (7) resumes here but has solid first-up figures with a win and two placings from six starts. Can run a big race while fresh. TONNEOFGRIT (5) is a three-time winner over this distance range and gets in light with the 2kg claim. Include in calculations. THE DROVER (3) has only missed a drum once in four starts over this track and trip and looks a must for the multiples. COIN TOSS (1) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Winston Smurfhill to go back-to-back.
