Flying Billie, Don't Give Up and Romary to take up the running at a decent tempo. HURRICANE KETUT (7) is in top form recently with a string of good runs, winning three of last five. Brave in defeat last time when narrowly tipped out by Zewinna. Meets her slightly better at the weights and can turn the tables. FLYING BILLIE (8) was runner-up behind Hurricane Ketut two back then a close-up fourth here last time. Has speed and will take catching over this slightly longer trip. ZEWINNA (4) kept coming last time to just overhaul Hurricane Ketut. Drops nicely in the weights and expected to fight out the finish again. SH'BOURNE MIDNIGHT (1) returns from a break and does have a strong fresh-up record. Knockout chance late. NICCO THE GREEK (2) has the ability and looks next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Hurricane Ketut.
