---|---|---|---|---|
A small field that lacks a pacemaker. SMART RECOGNITION (1) returned in good order with a strong win at Beaudesert and will have come on with that run now in the locker. Winning hoop Thornton stays in the saddle and can go back-to-back to start the campaign. CREDIT CONTROLLER (4) will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Expect a bold showing. SURCOTE (9) has placed around this circuit and gets in well at the weights with the claim. Top-three commodity. PICASSO'S DREAM (3) will be ready to peak now fourth run back from a spell and looks one for the exotics players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Smart Recognition to win again.
