The Big Freeze and Scissor Me Timbers can pave the way. You wouldn't rule any of them out. HIGHLANDS (1) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at this track two starts back then course and distance winner last time. Jessica Booth scored on him last time and retains the ride. Goes close again. SCISSOR ME TIMBERS (3) kept coming and got there by a nose over 1200m here latest. Drawn for a stalking role and should be in the finish again. THE BIG FREEZE (5) is racing well, finishing third here last time at the trip. Strong record course and distance and will be tough to hold out. GRINZINGER LASS (4) is back in form and will be very competitive again. FLYING START (2) is fitter for two runs back and should be ready to hit best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Highlands.
