Isolyfe to find the front in the small field. HELLARA (4) has found the competition a bit rich in her last couple of starts and will enjoy the drop back in class here. A 2kg claim will help, and she should be back in the top 3 this time. Stick with her. THE GIRL'S BOY (3) has been racing without much luck lately and was less than a length from the winner here 15 days ago when finishing fifth. He only needs the right run to take this out. MI MIJO (5) scored at massive odds last start when being ridden in front. He will be ridden in the same manner here as well, and there is no reason why he can't repeat the dose, but don't expect another ridiculous price. TAIPAN TOMMY (2) finished fourth as favourite behind the third pick last start when having no answer off a handy trip. He is mixing his form wildly, and could just as easily bounce back to win this time. ISOLYFE (1) has been a late scratching since his last run 5 weeks ago. He has the pole position, and can't be ruled out of a top 3 finish in an even contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Girl's Boy each way.
