Despite their wide draws Whimsy Smile and Licentious have enough pace to cross and take up the running. KINGSBURY (3) resumes. He was an impressive winner on debut at Pakenham before two sound runs, tested in good company at Flemington before the break. Should be an improver this time around, the late betting will be key to his chances. LICENTIOUS (12) just comes back a notch in grade from recent runs in town, fading late at Sandown Lakeside over a mile last time. Back in trip could suit better, expect she's ridden positively from out wide to try and run them along. THE FLYING POPOV (4) resumes. He showed ability last time in, look for him finishing strongly with an eye to rising in trip. WHIMSY SMILE (11) was a dominant maiden winner at Murtoa last time out. This is a fair bit harder but he's heading the right way. PERFECT NIGHT (8) resumes having been in good form last time in, this suits fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kingsbury to win.
