Solid tempo expected primarily from Misty Blue and Iceland Poppy. TRICORY (11) has been thereabouts in each of her 2 runs to date, and as per usual the Terri Rae stable runners are always well supported in the market. She cops a tricky gate but is good enough to take this out. FAST LIKE THUNDER (1) has finished runner-up twice since joining the Amber Hoffman stable that spends most of the time on the beach to get fit. He is not far off a well-deserved win and can get the job done this time. THEONEWEKEPT (2) won a trial here before producing a couple of solid efforts since resuming from a spell. The key here will be Lisa Allpress replacing an apprentice, and his first win is not far away. Follow your money. BALTIC BOOM (10) has been trialling up strongly for his return to the racetrack and he will be ready to rumble fresh. Follow the market moves. DELIGHT (7) resumes from a spell that would have done her the world of good, and a recent trial win says she is on track to make an immediate impact fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Theonewekept each-way.
