Genuine tempo with French Love leading the way. JEWELS CAPTAIN (1) couldn’t meet market expectation when resuming at Port Lincoln but finished full of running. Sure to have tightened with that run under his belt and worth following up. FRENCH LOVE (8) continues to chase the elusive maiden win but has been honest and will give herself every chance again up on speed. VIVID REASONING (12) finds it tough to break through. Was disappointing last start but had been threatening prior. Freshened with 50 days and debuts for a new stable. Keep safe. TAGYOURIT (11) comes across the border for Preusker after just a fair run at Donald last start. Creates some interest however with Meech booked. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jewels Captain to win.
