Good early pressure with Rip Current or Talkin' Stern likely to take up the running. Keen to side with KILLENAULE (8) who looks primed for this fourth up from a spell. Three runs this time in have all been very good, chasing hard at Sandown Hillside last time out in a handy race despite covering extra ground. Gets the 2kg claim for Jabez Johnstone and this looks very winnable. TALKIN' STERN (5) is hard to knock having won two in a row, dominant at Seymour over a mile last start. Heavy to dry and up a notch in grade but has upside and can go on with the job. BEST TIME (3) comes through the same race as Killenaule, only beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth there. He should get a nice run and be fighting out the finish. YAMATO SATONA (4) hasn't fired in two runs this time in but is better than that and could improve. BLOW ON THE DICE (7) has won two in a row in easier but can run well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Killenaule to win.
