Ma Belle Grise is expected to lead at a strong tempo. AMERICAN KESTREL (5) impressed placing from the back at Horsham and then disappointed at Echuca after (vet cleared). She's been kept on the fresh after a late scratching at the barrier on 13 April. Trusting she will be presented in good order and she will take beating if he is. TRAP THE CODE (9) resumes and showed enough at Geelong on debut to suggest she's a chance. Has the tongue tie applied for the first time and will be naturally improved. A bold return is likely. GRASSMERE DIAMOND (6) hit the line okay on debut well supported. She can build on that. GALLIC BOOGIE (2) resumes for the new barn and has placed fresh. He's also lightly raced and should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with American Kestrel.
