Everlasting Kiss to roll forward and dictate terms. KHOR (6) switched from Ciaron Maher in Victoria to his brother's stable on the Gold Coast and needed the outing there over this trip on a 27-day return. He's been freshened and kept up to the mark with a Deagon trial. His metropolitan form more than stacks up and he can win if presented on song. EVERLASTING KISS (11) brings improving country form and is likely to cross over and control the race. Runs the distance right out and has definite claims. BEHTAR (7) is in a top Sydney yard and is much better than the form line suggests. He went close in a Hawkesbury 78 last time he found a reasonable surface. Draws well and has been kept on the fresh side. Keep very safe. MAGICON (9) brings strong provincial wet-track efforts and carries 4kg less at this level. He races handy and should manage the step up in trip. Will go close if he holds the form on a dryer track. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Khor.
