Lockdown Lad can lead and they should run along. LOCKDOWN LAD (3) peaks off two near misses and gets the key jockey switch to the top hoop. He's been freshened and finds a winnable assignment. FLEET FOOTED (7) has switched from a Victorian barn on a 30-day return. This may be a touch short but has superior figures and will get every chance from an inside gate. Wary. BENT AS HELL (5) has a key gear addition and can go better third-up.In the mix. NO MORE ROMANCE (2) debuts for the Morgan yard. Has switched from a Sydney stable and the late betting will guide to his prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Lockdown Lad.
