Reasonable tempo with Cobblestone Way probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. Another good contest. CHEWING GUM (8) resumes and is right up to this if presented forward. Her jumpouts suggest she will be, and she's raced well in stronger than this. She has a low barrier and is proven fresh. The in-form Brown sticks from the jumpouts, and that's a decent push for her chances. ESPINHO (7) draws a bit awkwardly but will be fitter and is heading in the right direction. He's been kept up to the mark with a winning jumpout and is also in good hands. A threat. FURY (3) has been switched to the premier barn and can't be ruled out. Has shown ability and draws low. He's been fitted with two jumpouts and has the blinkers on again. HARMONETT (13) won a 58 easily at Wangaratta as favourite and will get every opportunity to build on that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chewing Gum appeals most.
