5:05am - CAN ASSIST WINTER DASH | 1200m | | i

Another Open Handicap and there's not much tempo again on paper, TESSERA taking up the running from perhaps INZ'N'OUT on his outside. It's easy to forgive TESSERA from Eagle Farm (horrible track!) and his previous form was strong, but he's never shown much deep into his prep before so perhaps check the yard. Proven horses KUDERO (warms up and smashes line!) and INZ'N'OUT (should sprint well over 1200m) both set a good benchmark for others to beat. MOUNT NEBO a knock-out in ideal conditions.
