Navy Kiss, Tymon and Tsunami will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Arancia and Sir Maximus. Former Victorian AYE VEE AITCH (1) has appreciated the move up north with a win and three seconds since joining the new stable and will be rock-hard fit for this contest. Draws favourably in gate four and looks the one they all have to run down. NAVY KISS (10) broke the maiden status at Rockhampton at the latest outing and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Can go right on with the job now. VOUCHERS (6) has a win and a second from three spins around this circuit and will strip fitter second-up from the break. Top-three contender on best figures. BUBBLES'N'FROTH (2) next in line in a competitive race to close out the card. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aye Vee Aitch to go one better.
