Native Bee and Fancy Legend to take up the running at a strong tempo. An open contest. PEAKING TOM (3) spiked his figures winning his Maiden here by 1L. He settled back and there was a stack of merit in the effort. He's been freshened and the mile will hold no fears. Just has to hold the form to go close. JAY BEE ELL (5) has been racing well at the track since the Maiden win and raced favourite last time. Has been kept on the fresh side and is a chance. FLYBALL (8) is in the premier stable and was quickly back on track placing at Emerald this grade/trip as favourite. He's no world beater but this isn't hard and he will get every chance from the inside gate. NATIVE BEE (4) rates okay on his near miss at Gladstone. Has an awkward gate but the veteran should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Peaking Tom.
