Plenty of pace with Tambo's Justice and Savvy Sovereign up front, pressured by Brave Agenda and Set The Sails. TAMBO'S JUSTICE (3) continued on his winning ways, leading and winning a 60 here first-up. He's had a brief freshen and will jump and run from the inside gate. He's 2/2 over this trip and can go on with the job. READ 'EM AND WEEP (8) spiked her figures willing a 65 here, and then wasn't far away in a 70. She's been kept on the fresh side, and this suits better. SET THE SAILS (7) responded to the blinkers and a dryer track, leading and easily winning a CL1 at the track/distance. Maps well, and he will be around the mark. BRAVE AGENDA (4) won over a mile here before the spell, running her best race. Resumes owning a trial win at the track, and has to be kept well onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Tambo's Justice.
