---|---|---|---|---|
Solid tempo anticipated and Yoho looks the most likely to take it up. About 300m to the turn out of the straight so inside gates are a slight advantage. Expecting a very solid middle distance test here with Hudson County, Sabkhat and Yoho all keen to get along in front. SENTIMENTAL PRINCE is tackling open company today but his form this prep in easier races has been very encouraging. Won two on the trot to kick off the campaign then was a shade disappointing last start over 1800m at Sunshine Coast when an unplaced favourite. Robbie Fradd seems to hold the key to this fellow and he regains the mount today. Prepared to forgive the one bad run. OUTRAGED returned to the winner's list last start when a barnstorming winner over 2200m at Eagle Farm. Drops sharply in weight for this tougher race. Very tough customer who will relish getting home late on the back of a strong tempo. On-pacer YOHO is working towards a win. Led until the concluding stages when runner up last start over this course and distance. Rarely runs a bad race. HI SON and SABKHAT will both be near their peaks now and each will appreciate the step up to this trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sentimental Prince for the win off good form this campaign.
