Only a small field with Kairos Louie likely to find a comfortable lead. GOOD BANTER (5) has been competing in much harder Group races in the southern states and looks very placed here against this company. Ready to peak now third-up from the break and may well prove too classy for this line-up. ZOOLOGY (1) is a last-start winner here who gets 3kg off with the claim and draws the inside alley. Ticks a few boxes for a race of this nature. JUST FLYING (7) gets in on the minimum with the claim and looks ready for the step-up in trip now. Top-three aspirations. THAT'S MOLLY (6) boasts a win around this circuit and will be rock-hard fit for this. In the mix. KAIROS LOUIE (4) next best in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Good Banter.
