Expecting Limbering to take up the running with Roadking and Koratora close at hand. UPTOWN MONK (3) has found the line nicely in both of his starts back from a spell, and he looks to be a lot stronger this season after not quite living up to expectations last time in work. Getting out to 1400m is the key, and if this trip is not already too short for him, he can have the last say. ROYAL SCRIPTURE (5) has had 4 starts back from a spell in tougher fields than this, and he is crying out for some firmer surfaces. A wide gate is no help, but at this level, he can get into the money at some each-way value. PRODIGAL LAD (4) has been racing over shorter trips than 1400m, and a form reversal is on the cards. KORATORA (8) weakened off a tough run when well found in the market last time out at Strathalbyn, and she is worth another chance, especially if she can find the front early on. Stick with her. ROADKING (2) can be a sharp improver second up. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Royal Scripture each-way.
