From the wide draw Kickagoal Kenny can cross and set up a solid tempo.
THAT'S IT (2) has been battling in tougher company here recently and will have the blinkers on for the first time. It is encouraging to see Ryan Wiggins in the saddle, and in this easier class, the pair will be hard to hold out. KICKAGOAL KENNY (8) finished third at Cairns nearly 6 weeks ago, and will find this company more to his liking. He cops a wide gate and steps up to a mile for the first time, but is still a winning chance. Each way. GOODNIGHT ROMEO (6) made the most of a change of tactics by leading all the way here to score comfortably to clear his maiden status. A wide draw is no help, but with some luck and maybe a cheap lead, he can figure in the top 3 again. KEEP ON RUNNING (1) did not have all the luck in the world here nearly 4 weeks ago, running on when the race was all over. He has a handy gate and can bounce back into form here. STORE BEACH (9) dropped out as favourite at Cairns last start and had a nice swing in his draw this time. He is worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: That's It has a big chance to bounce back into form here.
