---|---|---|---|---|
Postmaster General, Phuket, Big Vega and Ottawa will roll forward and inject good speed. Postmaster General and Thorin are the obvious on pace performers in this and POSTMASTER GENERAL looks every chance of a barrier to box win. Well suited by the rails draw and has a hoof on the till after two runner up efforts in as many starts heading into this. Great chance to breakthrough despite a rise in weight. PHOENIX CLAWS is back for a second campaign and looks the big improver in this field for the Waller camp. Has been solid in two recent trials and both runs at her debut campaign were respectable. Run well on fresh legs. THORIN made a respectable debut in what looks a solid form race now. Will go forward despite the wide gate and with added fitness can't be written off just yet. War Hero is the query runner here after a competitive debut run for the Snowden stable in Victoria. Resumes here for a new yard but has been away from the races for a long time. Watch betting for clues as to his readiness. Plate when well backed and warrants respect back to this grade whilst THORIN can improve on his first-up run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Postmaster General for the win.
