Tempo strong with Ken'ker booting up with Bobby's Secret also pressing forward. KEN'KER (1) dropped sharply in grade and thrashed his rivals in a BM50 over 1400m at Tuncurry 12 days ago. This might be a touch harder and he does go up 2kgs but the last win was very pleasing to the eye. CALL ME TERRY (2) has finished midfield but not all that far from the winner in his two runs this time in work. Steps up to a more suitable trip so he looks a threat but he will need luck from a wide draw with plenty of weight. ZAIBATSU (6) overcame a slow start to power home and finish just a neck from the winner over 1000m at this track recently. Needs the longer trip now and is sure to prove tough to hold out. CHEBICI (3) has disappointed since an eye-catching third first-up over 1200m at Wagga three back. Drops in grade so worth one more chance. GETTIN' TIPSY (16) should be ready to peak after three runs back from a spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ken'ker to win again.
