LIONHEART SECURITY PACE 1720m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

THE IRON DUKE (12) was a winner here four back and looks close to another success after seconds in his last two outings, coming from a similar barrier last time and racing three wide without cover but fighting on to go under by 2.3m. With a touch better luck he can go one better. SWEET IDEAL (13) missed by just a head last time, her second placing in three starts since winning here. Tough draw but is going well and is yet to miss a place at the circuit and distance. JOE GOT ROLLED (4) was midfield from the back row last start but had recorded a series of top-three finishes prior. Player from the good draw. ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (10) worked when racing wide last start but won his previous two here so may be worth another chance. Last-start winner GRAYSON RED (6) strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance. Respect.
