Brummagen should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. I'M KENOUGH (2) resumes for the Greig yard after having mixed luck in his ten race starts. Returns with a sound trial placing over 800m and has a host of gear changes from the inside gate. Top-three contender. CHICKEN LEGS (7) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race when fourth over 1000m at Gunnedah. Will appreciate the claim again from the good gate. Each way player. BEAUTY EDGE (5) won well two-back then jumped in grade when a fading ninth over 1000m at Orange. Capable of better with Hunt's claim. Must respect. CHARLIE MAGIC (1) lightly raced gelding with ability who returns from a lengthy spell. Back without a trial and proven at this course and distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: I'm Kenough should sprint well fresh.
