|
Solid tempo likely from My Name Is and It's Hells Bells. MY NAME IS (1) is a progressive gelding who is bred to improve with more racing. He was a Moree winner before his spell and looked ready to rumble when winning a recent Warwick trial last month. On top in this field. IT'S HELLS BELLS (4) did not like the kickback off the Gympie track last start, and that run is best forgotten. He has won 4 of his 6 starts here and can bounce straight back into winning form on the turf. BAD FOREST (7) is resuming from a spell and did win fresh up last prep. He will be a lot stronger after a spell, and if he doesn't need the hit-out, he will be hard to hold out. STAR OF KINGS (3) is a lightly tried 6-year-old gelding with talent. He comes to hand quickly and is well worth each-way consideration. LEVAR (10) ran a better race at a recent Monto picnic meeting and could run into a top 4 finish here. SUGGESTED PLAY: My Name Is to win.
