Ken'ker, Wishful Thinker and Viewpoint to take up the running at a decent tempo. VIEWPOINT (4) exciting gelding resuming. Gave them a galloping lesson at his third race start with a dominant win over 1600m at this track last December. Primed with the two trials and the booking of Rawiller is a good guide to his chances. WISHFUL THINKER (7) appreciated the firmer surface and rise in trip with a tenacious on-pace win over 1350m at Wyong in Maiden class. Up quickly in grade from the low draw. Solid top-three player. DUMEBI (1) just under a month between runs when he knocked up late to finish second over this trip at Wagga in BM82 class. Stays in the mix with Grima's claim. PICK UP THE TAB (2) third-up for this after having genuine excuses from wide gates at his last two outings. Comes back a level for this and will appreciate the extra trip. Likely to roll forward from the awkward gate and expected to take a hand in the finish. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Viewpoint maps to get the gun run.
