Slick pace with Whiskey George finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. KING INCANTO (2) rattled home to just miss the frame after drifting along way back when resuming at Tatura. Blinkers go on to sharpen him up and the added trip suits him perfectly. Bold showing expected. WHISKEY GEORGE (4) chases a hat-trick after two stylish pillar-to-post wins. Not that much tougher this time but does go up in the weights. Obvious danger. ASTUNNER (1) chased gamely into the placings when resuming at Gundagai and has been tuned up with a Wagga trial in-between. Carries the big weight but deserves respect. ROWDY ANTHEM (7) has been leaving himself with too much to do but possesses a sharp turn of foot on his day. Can give this a big shake if close enough when turning. TERESPRIT (11) will settle back but if the leaders go too hard and gaps open, she has the turn of foot to make things interesting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing King Incanto to win.
