Expecting a strong gallop with Call Out and Coco Jewel taking up the running over Gerry's Pick. INQUISITOR (5) led over 1200m at Murwillumbah last start but couldn't maintain the pressure and was swamped close to home. Has raced here at this distance once for a win. Sure to give them something to catch with a bit less pressure on today over the longer journey. FLYING ARGENTO (1) has transferred from Gary Portelli to Ben Hull and is back after a break of three months. Has never fired when fresh but this looks a softer first-up assignment than usual. Can bob up without surprising. CALL OUT (3) returned with a solid effort in a Warwick Class 3 last start. Down in grade and has won second-up before so this is not out of reach. MISHANI SUSPECT (6) won here last start over 1265m when second-up from a spell. Not a prolific winner so might struggle to repeat that effort, but worth throwing in the exotics. EXPLOSIVE POWER (2) can improve second-up over a bit more ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: Inquisitor to win.
