Verdict

KICKATINALONG (4) has been racing in stronger and two back was only beaten 2.3L over 6 ¾f at Doomben. She will push forward for a top barn and is well-placed to win. ANSWERING (1) was well in the market but disappointed backers here last time over 6f in Open grade. Missed a whisker over the same trip prior in a 72 and comes back plenty in grade. Has the weight hike but a leading hoop sticks, and he maps for a soft run. UPSTART LEGEND (5) has been around the mark and got to within 1.9L in a 65 here last time over this distance. Has the inside barrier and is well in the mix. BETTER BE READY (2) resumed in the same contest at long odds and folded up from the speed. He will come into his own over longer trips, but he's capable of controlling this race and fitter he can give a better sight.
