KING JESTER (4) is racing well this campaign, including a last start win over 4¾f at Cairns to bring up three wins from four runs in the campaign. Should park just off the speed. Leading contender. BATTLE CRY (3) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 7f at this track. Form here at the trip is sound with two wins and two minor placings from six runs. Likely to feature. HE'S XCEPTIONAL (2) last appeared when fifth over 6½f at this track four-and-a-half months ago. Comes here with definite top-three claims. FAMILY STAR (5) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 5f196yards at Home Hill last time out. Among the chances again.
