AU - Kempsey - Race 2

BRILLIANT KNIGHT (3) has the right profile second-up after resuming with a Class 3 third at Port Macquarie, where he was favourite, slow to begin and still only beaten two and a half lengths. His broader record is reliable, Luke Rolls has two wins and two places from five rides on him, and the weight relief gives him the strongest overall case. PRINCE IS GAME (6) is the obvious danger after back-to-back wins, first in a BM58 at Port Macquarie and then in a BM66 at Taree despite being checked near the 3 ½f. The BM74 rise asks more, but his 1 ³/16m record is solid. ZOU BIG BOY (5) comes through BM58 form with recent market respect, weight relief and a quick back-up in his favour, though this is harder. HE'S A COPY BOY (2) drops from Open company and has the 7lbs claim, with his closing BM66 fifth two starts back keeping him in the place mix despite the 1 ³/16m query.
