Pace genuine with Bold Alliance and Russian Words pressing hard closely followed by Slam Dunk and Sammy The Bull. VINGT NEUF NOIR (8) finally gave a glimpse of what she's capable of on resumption when sitting on the speed for a tough second over this trip at Kembla Grange. Finds a winnable race despite drawing a sticky gate. APPIN OPAL (6) resumes. Had excuses on debut when she struck trouble at the start to run over 1000m at Randwick Kensington. Fitted with the two trials and looks to have come back a stronger filly. Sure to be thereabouts. UNLEASH HARRY (2) resumes. Excellent debut from the low draw when he stalked the speed to finish an encouraging third over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Impressed with a recent 1045m trial win at Randwick. Sticky draw but can get off the mark quickly this time in. OUR LADY PEACE (9) has a fitness edge over these and a win looks imminent. Sat on the fast tempo and never surrendered with a gritty third over 1000m at Kembla Grange. Expected to go close. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,6,2,9.
