Track: Synthetic     Rail: True.  

Simply Deep to take charge ahead of Tough Impact at a solid tempo. Fascinating contest for a Class 2 at Devonport. SIMPLY DEEP (1) is two wins from two career starts, and should lead these from the outset. He's the one they'll need to get past. BERSERKER (6) capable of a big finish and might be the one that pounces when it matters, especially if the pace is strong throughout. GARCON D'ESPOIR (2) ran fifth in the Tas Derby earlier this year, and looks a classy conveyance resuming. Might just be a level above these despite the much shorter trip. WHIPPIN PICCADILLY (8) wasn't far off the top pick resuming and offers a genuine threat today. PLATINUM REGGAE (7) comes through the same race and warrants each-way respect once again while NIGHT ACTION (3) resumes off a trial win and has a terrific record at this circuit. SUGGESTED PLAY: The top pick might be a bit too short, so let's throw SIMPLY DEEP (1), BERSERKER (6), GARCON D'ESPOIR (2), WHIPPIN PICCADILLY (8) and NIGHT ACTION (3) into a boxed trifecta.
