Genuine tempo with the speedy Deprivation and French Marine matching motors. The flying DEPRIVATION (1) bolted in first-up at Newcastle then booted away and looked set to make it two-for-two for the prep but was collared on the line over 1300m at Warwick Farm a fortnight ago. Sure to give a tremendous sight again. JACENZA (6) has been just fair in two runs this time in work. The winner of 2/3 at this stage of the prep so with a bit of weight relief today he comes into calculations. NEED SOME LUCK (3) is a lightly raced half-brother to Chautauqua back from a brief spell and has been gelded. Always shown ability and the recent procedure might take him to the next level. EDITED BY (4) impressed at Wyong last start so count him in despite the class rise. GUNDY GUY (5) was a brave winner under a big weight at Wagga last time. Cannot be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Deprivation.
