Ultraman should work forward. BODHI BLUE drops back to provincial level after some respectable efforts at metropolitan level. Should be peaking fourth up and will appreciate a return to lesser company. TITANESS has placed in two of her three career outings to date. Probably better suited at country level for now however finds a provincial race here short on depth. Bluesbro and Ultraman like to get along early doors so the tempo will be genuine. BODHI BLUE hasn't been far away in three runs this prep and looks set to break through. Raced handy but couldn't quicken last start on a heavy track over 1100m at Canterbury. Was unlucky not to win the start before over 1200m at Warwick Farm when blocked for clear running at a vital stage. Suited back up in distance today. TITANESS was heavily supported last start at Sapphire Coast over 1400m but couldn't pick up a runaway leader on a heavy track that favoured those in front. Placed to advantage today and is rock hard fit with three runs now under her belt. LAKSHME worked home in good style to finish a distant 3rd last start over 1100m at Gosford on a soft surface. Ready to peak third up from a break. The consistent BLUESBRO is in the mix first up from a spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Straight out Bodhi Blue back to provincial level.
