---|---|---|---|---|
Kerkorian and Le Heros to battle for the leading role. A DEEL OF HUMOUR (8) stepped up off a resuming win in country NSW to score by 1.5 lengths over 1800m at Eagle Farm last time. Hard to knock winning form and is proven both third-up and at this longer distance. Can land the hat trick. CLYDE (9) may have found 2400m a bit too far last time but had been racing consistently before that so looks better off back in trip. Can bounce back. DISPUTED RIVER (10) is racing well, completing a hat trick with an Eagle Farm win two back before placing last time. Won his lone attempt here. Player. CHAYSE 'N' ARTIE (5) should enjoy coming back to a distance where he has recorded a win and a placing in two attempts. Last-start winner RED TOP (2) deserves respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: A Deel Of Humour to deliver again.
