They should run this along with Lumens Lenny and Speed Map taking it up over Boys Night Out. CHIEF WITNESS (1) has looked good since joining the new stable including a win and a second from two attempts over this course and distance. Gets some weight off with the 2kg claim and can continue the rich vein of form. LUMENS LENNY (15) returned to the winners' stall with a solid Ipswich victory last time out and looks ready for the step-up in trip now. Top-three candidate. ANAVINCI (2) is better than recent efforts suggest and is another to get some weight relief. In the mix. BOYS NIGHT OUT (4) strips fitter second-up from the spell and gets Mallyon on board from the low draw. Keep in mind. BETTER BE NORDY (11) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chief Witness to salute.
