Group 3 placegetter AUSBRED FLIRT (4) is back from a lay-off of four months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 7f at Randwick. Fitter for a recent trial win at Rosehill. Will be tough to beat. TAVI TIME (1) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 1m at Mudgee. Will find this assignment a little tougher but he is right in this. NOSEY PARKER (2) was an emphatic winner last time over 6f at this track with this rider Andrew Adkins engaged. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from four starts. Shapes as one to consider. VAIN INVADER (7) progressed nicely last time out to score by one length over 7f at Sapphire Coast. Well placed to feature in the finish again.
