Only a small field with Kessler likely to find a comfortable lead. STARTON (6) was a winner three back then not far away the last couple. Goes forward and expected to stalk the lead and prove tough to hold out. COLLISON (8) is fitter for two runs back and put the writing on the wall latest when runner-up in the same race as Starton. Has a good third-up record. MR JONES (4) has been racing well in Alice Springs including a fast-finishing win over a mile latest. Will give a start over this sharper journey but should be motoring home late. KESSLER (1) is a speedy type drawn low and looks the pace after a little freshen-up. Can give a sight. TAIPAN TOMMY (7) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Starton can bounce back.
