No recognised leader engaged but Bilpa Morea has the pace to work to the front. METCALFE (6) is in a top metro stable and resumed with a narrow defeat in a CL2 at Ipswich. He has more to give and the step up to the mile is ideal. Jumps from an inside barrier, and he's well placed. KHAMIS (14) improved beaten 2L this grade at Ipswich over 1710m and can build on that. Carries just 53kg with Newman's claim. THEBARBEROFSEVILLE (3) won at Ipswich this level and impressed. He gives away starts but will be fitter again and can feature with average luck. MOOTESSA (10) just missed here over 1400m off two tries at Doomben. The 2kg claim remains handy, and the well-bred mare has to be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Metcalfe.
