A slick tempo on the cards with Bring Me To Life and Grenado battling for the lead ahead of Offaneasy. KALAHARI HEART (2) showed something like her true form when finishing on strongly for third place at Armidale last start and she has home track advantage this time. She slides down further in class for this and has a great chance to break her long win drought. PEAK ROAD (1) has changed stables since last racing and he is resuming from a spell. He comes to hand quickly and at this level, he should be very competitive. Each-way. BRING ME TO LIFE (7) has been racing consistently and has been unlucky not to have won another race by now. The step up in trip will suit him and he should be among the hardest to beat. OFFANEASY (6) made progress finishing midfield last start at Armidale on soft going when jumping at long odds. Worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Peak Road each-way.
