Genuine tempo with the speedy Just Flying leading the way.
JUST FLYING (6) has hit the frame here on his home circuit at the past couple and looks to be working up to another victory. Should be able to sit up on speed from the low draw and will give backers a sight. HABEEBAH (9) will strip fitter third-up from the spell and is sure to appreciate the step-up to the 1835m journey now. Well placed here and should be right there at the business end. BARAZIN (5) is a last-start winner who draws low and gets some weight off with the 2kg claim. Plenty to like about his prospects. YET HE MOVES (4) has been right in the firing line in both runs this campaign and looks a genuine top-three candidate on recent efforts. The well-related HALF LISTENING (10) (half to G2 winner Not An Option) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Just Flying.
