Strong tempo with Corpulent and So Superior leading the way over Yesglenn.
CORPULENT (2) took the lead a fair way out and was left a sitting duck for the winner on debut over a similar trip to this at Wyong last start. Sure to improve with that run under the belt and will be tough to reel in. WEEKDAY FLYER (14) made significant improvement last Saturday when facing the starter for the second time, winding up strongly to grab second over 1400m at this track. Blinkers on and backs up quickly - both positives. Looks a big threat out to the mile for the first time. SHARBINO (12) was in the money first-up at Queanbeyan then didn't cope with the class rise at Warwick Farm last time. Back in a more suitable race and should be peaking at the third run back from a spell. WORMINGTON (8) led for home but couldn't finish it off over this course and distance last weekend. Should run a cheeky race. SO SUPERIOR (6) is fresh from a two-month break and could surprise over his pet distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Corpulent and Weekday Flyer.
