Plenty of speed with Flying Rupert, Tipsy Tiger and Straya Pride leading Yes Larry and Entitle. Plenty of win chances in a wide open finale. VIKING TREASURE (6) is an honest mare who wound up last campaign here and just got too far back over the sharper trip. This campaign has two wins and a second and will give a sight with the claim and good draw. TOO MANY KISSES (9) was safely held at Rocky in richer company last time but rates highly on a fast finishing second here two back. Can atone. BILLY BOOM (4) is better than recent form suggests and deserves another chance. TIPSY TIGER (5) looked close to a win before dropping back in trip last time and was run off legs. Extra trip here a plus and can improve sharply. HEROIC TALENT (7) has been racing in the rich three-year-old races in North Queensland and now four comes back to far easier grade. Can quickly turn the form around. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Viking Treasure.
