Deepseek should lead at a keen tempo. DEEPSEEK (4) was beaten less than 2L over 1310m at Geelong on debut. He will be better for that, and the addition of blinkers is a positive sign. Races forward and will go close. TERRAX (7) finished it off well on debut, beaten 2.5 lengths at the end of 1000m at this track. Maps well, and the longer sprint is sure to suit. He should be right in it. UNRIDDLE (3) brings a string of narrow defeats. The blinkers go on again, and from an inside barrier, she may jump sharper today. She can make the finish again if things work out. VENATRIX (11) is third-up with more to offer. Will likely settle back and finish hard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Deepseek appeals most.
