A solid tempo on the cards. DIVINE VICKY (3) resumes with an unbeaten first-up record and two recent trials were very sharp. Untested on genuinely wet ground but has the class to put these away resuming. NOT THAT EASY (5) aims up for three wins on the trot with three kilos less than latest run. Drawn low and fitness no issue. Big threat again. MR BINGO (2) failed last start but previous runs were sound in similar company. Has won on a heavy track so well worth another chance over a suitable trip. DREAMING OF VEGAS (1) has built an imposing record from seven starts but does jump five kilos off latest run. Short course specialist with plenty of talent. Right in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Divine Vicky win.
