|
Oregon Hiker, Divine Flirt and Smokey Mountain to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. HEZANGELIC (4) resumed in top order over this track and trip 17 days ago, missing out by just 1.8L. Up in grade today, but he has plenty of upside and Pike remaining in the saddle is a big tick. Open to a stack of improvement and can return to winning ways today. OREGON HIKER (2) is a lightly raced commodity who got the job done in the same race as Hezangelic last start. He maps for a similar run this time around with Campbell's claim coming in handy. Race well and is sure to go close again. DIVINE FLIRT (1) disappointed last start but that follows her usual pattern. She tends to bounce back third-up though and back to this trip mightn't be an issue with good speed engaged. Watch for her late. SMOKEY MOUNTAIN (3) bounced back last start and can be around the mark once again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hezangelic gets the nod.
