Solid tempo expected primarily from Pleasing and Cooper. SENSE OF TIMING (1) has been twice trialled so is very ready to resume here. She is a multiple class dropper in this. Big chance in this field for sure. PLEASING (10) is a multiple class dropper fresh up in this. Speedy type and cannot be left out here of anywhere. COMPLEX (2) he is racing super this time in. Handles it dry and wet as well. Winning rider atop. In the multiples mix. GET FUNKY (14) she has run well in two of her last four runs and one of those came here. Not out of this at all. COOPER (3) has a wide draw here. He has been course placed before. Be very tote wary with him fresh up in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sense Of Timing and Pleasing are win wagers.
