KINGSTON'S HERE (6) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough to be competitive in a race like this. Has a handy record over this track and trip with a win and four placings from eight attempts and is a three-time winner when fresh. Strong chance to kick off this campaign in fine fashion. KOTE (8) is having his first run for the new stable but will find this easier than what he faced in NSW and is drawn to get a soft run from gate two. A return to the winners' stall would not surprise. HEARTONI (11) is a three-time winner over this course and distance and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. A must for the multiples. BRING ME KASH (5) strips fitter third-up from the spell and should be ready to peak now. In the mix on best form. HARDWARE LANE (4) best of the rest while fresh.
