Unhinged and Sprightly Affair can be prominent. TANNIN (3) won on debut at Gosford then went around as favourite in a Listed race at Eagle Farm over 1400m and failed to flatter. Fresh from a two-month break and in the right race to make his presence felt. LEONESSA (8) had a soft run back behind the speed then found the line just fairly over this course and distance recently. Very fit at the third run back and can do better. TENENBAUM (2) is back after a four-month spell. Opened last prep with an arrogant win over this distance at Wyong then disappointed at $1.22 in a Hawkesbury metro class race over 1400m. Clearly has ability and 1200m while fresh looks the right formula. YANGZI RIVER (7) scrambled home on debut at Kembla. J Mac takes the reins which will attract interest. SPRIGHTLY AFFAIR (6) is a promising filly whose three runs to date, all at provincial level, have been hard to fault. Ready for this sterner test. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tannin to win.
