HAAFAPIECE goes well fresh and is back on a winning mark so gets a tentative vote in an open-looking handicap. Big Bad Bear probably needed the run at Perth last month but Gordon's Jet has become disappointing. Kihavah arrives in decent form but will have stamina to prove and Harbour Lake is more interesting given he has won three of his four career starts and was brought down in the other. Gaelik Coast is 3-6 over hurdles but high enough in the weights at present.
