The race lacks early speed so doubt they will go too hard. WIREWALKER (3) resumes here but grows a leg for jockey Huxtable who has two wins from as many rides and has revved up for this with a recent easy trial. Has placed when fresh before and should play a major role in the outcome. HERBIE TOWN (5) showed good improvement second run from a spell when a close fourth at Dalby. Gets 1.5kg off with the claim and only needs some luck navigating from the outside draw to be troubling the judge. BUTT HEADS (9) boasts a win around this circuit and will strip fitter second-up from the break. In the mix. CARRIBEAN KING (1) rounds out the selections. Has been doing his best work late this campaign. Will again be running on and won't need to spot the leaders a massive start in this small field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Wirewalker.
