Strong tempo with Danish Prince and Dusty Bay leading from Audrey's Lane and Vetwelve. UNIQUE AMBITION (7) deep into the campaign and due for a change of luck. Savaged the line from last on the turn with a creditable fifth over 1400m at Warwick Farm in BM78 class. Will relish the fast tempo from the awkward gate and has genuine claims. AUDREY'S LANE (4) tough on-pace winner first-up, then got out late when the race was all over to secure third over 1300m at Rosehill. Set to peak third-up and looking for this trip and further now. Go close. MAILATA (3) two runs back have been strong and he meets a few of these better at the weights. Dictated early and peaked on the run in the straight when third to Il Passero over 1350m at Wyong in the Provincial Mid Champs. Key jockey change and placed at the trip. Leading player from the draw. AIX EN PROVENCE (1) consistent gelding who circled the field with the 59.5kg for a game first-up fourth over 1350m at Wyong in BM78 class. Comes to hand quickly and expect to see him closer to the speed with the claim. AUDENZIA (11) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Unique Ambition each-way.
