A race that lacks early pressure on paper. Tricky one. THUNDER HAWK (10) has shown ability in six runs to date, only racing once last time in when fifth at Bendigo. Some of her form prior to that reads well for this and if she can find her best here she'll take some beating. MACHETE (7) was in the market on debut at Sandown Lakeside, not beaten far when fifth in a bunched finish. Tricky draw but should be hard to hold out. LENNYSTAR (4) ran well fresh at Sale over 1100m, working home well to grab third. Fitter for that and should be in the finish. BRUTAL EYES (2) has been okay in three runs to date and has each-way claims. PRINCESS MESS (9) is a mare by Puissance De Lune on debut for the Payne yard, watch the market. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thunder Hawk on top.
