Not expecting them to go too hard.
JENNIVAMOOSE (6) won in good time at The Valley last start and presents at the same track and trip here. She mowed her opposition down under Harry Coffey last start and can do the same here against a similar grade of horse. FLAMIN' ROMANS (5) comes through the same race last start and is expected to hold a favourable map position. He can turn the tables on Jennivamoose. MUKTAMIL (7) has been a consistent galloper over this distance range over the winter, and there's no reason to expect anything to change here. He will run well, but his best form is potentially at Flemington. BOLD SOUL (2) has been consistently racing in a high grade of form and is coming off a win last start. The query is that he might be coming to the end of it this preparation. WYCLIF (1) can improve drastically. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Jennivamoose.
