Sharpoy to take up the running with Equine Art and Code Buster close at hand. SHARPOY (12) deserves to break through and was narrowly beaten at Ipswich last time. She will push forward and is well placed to be winning. She has a fitness edge over DRUMSHANBO (9), who is a promising type on debut for the Michael Freedman stable. He jumps from the paint and brings an easy trial win here. A bold run is on the cards. EQUINE ART (6) has been threatening a win and will find this easier than Eagle Farm last time. She went close over a shorter sprint at Ipswich prior. HE IS THE KISS (2) is racing well and has an inside barrier. He also has claims. CODE BUSTER (8) has upside and should appreciate the longer sprint. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sharpoy with the race fitness.
