Just a modest tempo anticipated. THUNDER HAWK (10) resumed in town with a solid effort and then impressed placing at Geelong. Fitter again and the blinkers go on for the first time. She draws to advantage and is the one to beat. PLATINUM DESTROYER (7) is third-up off narrow provincial defeats. Maps for a soft run and can threaten over the longer distance. GLORIOUS DEFIANCE (9) resumes and just missed here two back fresh. Thats the measure and it was a big effort from a wide gate. Meech will give here every chance. MOUNT MUMUKAI (6) is an improver and is also in good hands. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Thunder Hawk to win.
