Strong early tempo with Khumbila leading the way. HELLO WORLD (5) led under a big weight at Sandown last start before being overwhelmed close to home over today's trip. Gets in with 3.5kgs less today. Switched north by Team Hawkes and will be hard to catch with the in-form Zac Lloyd to steer. KOMODO DRAGON (8) has been freshened up since winning comfortably over 1400m at Kembla 39 days ago. Lightly raced gelding with plenty of upside. Worth noting McDonald takes the ride at 54.5kgs. BELLEISTIC KIDS (1) charged home to win an open handicap at Canberra two back before a modest fourth in the Bathurst Cup over 1800m last time. Worth another chance back to this more suitable trip. The lightly raced HEED THE OMENS (6) returns after a five-month spell. Showed ability over 1600m+ last time in work in Melbourne. Will be working home strongly. RAPBIDASH (4) returns from a six-month lay-off. Has won 2/3 when fresh and is trialling well so don't let her under the guard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hello World just on top in a competitive race.
