Even tempo anticipated with Heaven Bound leading the way. Looks a race in two and the betting backs this up. HEAVEN BOUND (8) led and just failed to hang on in an 1800m Hawkesbury maiden two runs back. Outclassed in the Group 3 Adrian Knox subsequently. Back in her right race and will be hard to catch bowling along in front. The lightly raced ROYAL STANDARD (6) has found the line well at both runs this time in work, last time out getting up for third over 1600m at Gosford. Ideally placed out to this trip on a bigger track. QUEEN OF DRAMA (9) is a one-paced filly who has found her two runs this prep a bit sharp. Watch for a better run with this step up in journey. FRENCH DELIVERY (1) is racing well including a solid second here at a similar trip last time. Now 17 without a win which is a worry. HIMEROS (2) is another consistent performer with top-three claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: This looks the right race for Heaven Bound.
