Resonator should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. AHYEAHRIGHTO (4) had plenty of fans on Quokka Day but couldn't get the job done when beaten 0.3L up to this trip. This looks to shape similarly, but he's at his top now and he maps to get every chance for Parnham. Going well without winning but gets a great chance this time. DRAKAINA (7) wasn't beaten far in her debut campaign in Australia and looks to be on song following a recent trial. Pike hops in the saddle and importantly, the ear muffs come off. Drawn inside and can get back to her best. LET'S TALK (8) made it back-to-back wins with a 0.8L at this track and trip last time out and is a progressive type on the rise. This is tougher, but his figures say he's up to this grade and he's down in the weights. Live chance. JAZ SESSION (2) has been impressive this campaign, going under narrowly last start after winning three on end. Can go close again. CHOLLIMA (6) has won 3/4 fresh and gets CJP first-up without a trial. Worth plenty of thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ahyeahrighto can get the job done.
