Blue Kingdom to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. LOVE AIN'T FREE (8) is improving with each run and drops in weight for this. Gripped on late with the 59kg when third over the 1400m at Wellington. Adept in all conditions and races well on his home track. Each-way player. TERRITORIES SPIRIT (9) showed good early speed on debut before tiring late when a game fourth over 1300m at Moree. Should have come on strongly from that effort and is a worthy contender. BLUE KINGDOM (1) well fancied on debut ($1.35 fav), when away awkwardly before coming fast late when an unlucky second over 1262m at Taree. Fitter for the run and will be strong through the line. SMART BUY (10) nice mare desperate for this trip second up. Placed here last time in and will need luck from the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,9,1,10.
