Piggyback and Shahzad will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. Ciaron Maher's Irish import JUJA KIBO (9) is starting to hit his straps in a second Australian campaign. Came from well back to score an arrogant win over 1800m at Sandown last start. Meets a better line-up today but there is a stack of room for further progress and with just 54.5kgs after the claim he looks the one. PIGGYBACK (7) is an honest mare who chased Aberlour all the way over 1800m at Randwick last time. Getting deep into the prep which is new territory for her but the addition of blinkers today might add some spark. SLY BOOTS (6) comes here off a tidy Canterbury win ten days ago. Tougher ask this time but he is very fit and might be able to lead in a race that lacks pressure on paper. CAPTAIN MAVERICK (10) has been knocking on the door in midweek company and handled the Heavy track at Warwick Farm two back. Tougher here but should get his chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Juju Kibo, with a lack of obvious pace in the race the only concern.
