Royal Edition and Red Hussy will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. ROYAL EDITION (6) fought on well enough for fourth here nearly 2 weeks ago and will benefit from a 3kg claim this time. He has more upside than most in this field and should go close to taking it out. OUR ESPRIT (9) did not cope with the quick backup at Gatton last time out and has been given more time between starts here. She has been trying to win a race for a long time but is fit and worth including in all combinations to be safe. SALLY'S KATO (7) changed stables in the middle of June and has not fared any better in a couple of Queensland runs. His trainer has made a bunch of gear changes, and in a field like this, he can run into a top finish. HAPPY COFFEE (12) has shown improvement in her last couple of starts. She has a light weight and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Another even contest and Royal Edition is ready to win.
