Godwits is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. BACKHANDER (4) coming along slowly and ready for this trip fifth up. Stalked the speed with a fighting second to Gemtiki over 1750m at Muswellbrook. Only has to hold that from to go close today. FARRAIGE (3) racing well and handled the rise in trip with a narrow second over 2200m at Bowraville. Doesn't know how to run a bad race and shapes as a major player again. GODWITS (2) failed to handle the two-day backup with a battling seventh over 2200m at this track. Gets weight relief with the claim and don't dismiss. QUESTIONABLE (5) relished the jump in trip with a comfortable win over this track and trip fourth up. Well drawn and stays in the calculations. BILL PEYTO (10) has an okay record here and gets in light with Johnston's claim. Place best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backhander can get the better of these in a tough race.
