Expecting Bankers Choice to set a strong tempo off the inside along with Newlook. REVELARE (14) finished seventh last time out over 1600m at this track when resuming from a spell as favourite. He is sure to appreciate the benefits of fitness and a longer distance. Ryan Hurdle has a brilliant affinity with this horse. NEWLOOK (13) made a strong return to racing in his Australian debut, running strong sectional times that suggest he was much better than the bare result. He can improve sharply at 2000m. KINESIOLOGY (12) made an eye-catching run, coming seventh at Rosehill on return. He's better over further than this and has only won once, but he's a main contender. BERKELEY SQUARE (4) can run a bold race fourth up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Newlook each-way.
