Reasonable tempo with He Is The Kiss probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. Big field and plenty of hopes. BIG TECH (1) is a progressive type who got off the mark with a maiden win last time here on the turf. First try poly track but the penny has dropped now and will be tough to stop again. PROBLEMATICAL (7) was runner-up here fresh then broke through for a maiden win here last time. Has further upside and can make it back-to-back wins. DOUBLE WHAMMY (3) was beaten 4 lengths into seventh in a 1600m contest at Sunshine Coast at his latest appearance. Should be at peak fitness now and can play a major role. NAMARA (8) goes best on the all-weather and has claims despite the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Big Tech.
