She's Enuff is expected to lead at a slick tempo. AYE AYE SKIPPER (1) did some work to sit outside the lead from a wide draw then found again at the other end to just prevail in a similar race at Grafton last start. Newman's claim is a smart one. Only needs luck from another wide alley to get the job done again. ANOTHER WISH (4) had an eight-week let-up and produced a much better performance last time out, working home well to just miss the placings over 1130m at Grafton. Will take a lot from that outing and with winkers on for the first time looks a big danger. SHE'S ENUFF (8) backs up seven days after weakening out of a 1400m BM58 at Inverell. Worth another chance back to this trip. SKATES ON (5) is racing in great heart. Goes extra well for Ben Looker who is back aboard. A bit of good fortune from the wide alley should see him in the finish. BELLZEN (3) has worked home well in both runs this prep at shorter journeys. This looks an ideal third-up assignment. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Aye Aye Skipper.
