The Candy Kid and The Jester's Son will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. OPPORTUNISTIC (2) made a winning return over this course and distance, racing on the speed before kicking strongly to score by a neck in the traditional lead-up to this Listed feature. He loses nothing with Chris Parnham picking up the ride, and the extra 2kg, should not stop him from going close to repeating the dose. LILLIAN (6) was below expectations when finishing sixth behind her stablemate and top pick in the same race here last start, but her best form gives her a chance to bounce back sharply. GINGER BAKER (1) ran on too late when fourth in the lead-up to this race, and the extra 340m will make all the difference this time. Each way. OUTSPOKEN LAD (8) has been mixing his form and was well held here last start when suffering a cardiac arrhythmia. He is worth another chance. Include in all top 4 combos. THE JESTER'S SON (11) caught the eye with a powerful finish from well back to grab second against most of these last start. Stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Opportunistic can win again.
