FIZIQUE has won two of his past four starts here and was a 1.8 lengths winner over King Of Avalon last time. He looks perfectly placed from a good gate.

He does drop in class here. HOSTESS SUSIE was doing her best work late when beaten 2.7 lengths at Gawler behind Inordinate. She’s been placed here before and will be running on. HOT FLUSH was on speed when a 0.4 length winner over WHISKEY SOUR at Gawler. He draws out but gets some weight relief and should be somewhere in the finish again.
