Expecting Good'n'you to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. JOHNNY (4) shuffled back from the inside gate in a muddling run contest before charging late with a respectable third over 1250m at Canterbury. Big class drop for this and should get the right tempo to finish over the top of these. IN AND OUT (5) three runs back have been better than they appear on paper and looks to get the right conditions today. Came from near last on the turn with a respectable fifth over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Can race a little closer today and assess on the good second at Randwick (Kensington) two starts back. Go close. GOOD'N'YOU (9) stamped urgent from the outset with a tough on pace Maiden win over 1200m at Beaumont (Newcastle). Has the upside to go on with it now and will prove hard to run down again. SHELSTEIN (2) comes back a level for this with race fitness on his side. Snagged back from the wide gate and failed to make an impression when last over 1200m at Rosehill in BM72 class. No surprise to see him return to form. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Johnny can get the job done.
