Slick tempo with Art Of Consent to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. FLICK THE SWITCH (1) is hard to knock on form, picking up where she left off last campaign. She just missed last start over 1100m here, but she'll be fitter again third-up and she was favourite here last time out. Ticks plenty of boxes and can get back to winning ways. CELESTIAL FOX (4) returns to the Dion Luciani stable following a Kalgoorlie campaign in the Peter Fernie Barn. She absolutely bolted in at the trials recently and she should be right on the speed from a good barrier. Cooper's 2kg claim comes in handy and she'll take plenty of catching. JELLYBEAN JONES (5) improved quickly last start to get the job done in a bunched finish. Back in trip is a slight niggle, though his form may have been franked by now and he maps to get his chance. Don't dismiss lightly. DO DA DITTY (6) hasn't won for a while but showed glimpses last campaign. Has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Flick The Switch.
